Read: The Drowning Pool by Ross MacDonald ★★★★☆ 📚

There the kelp-beds stopped me, a tangled barrier of brown and yellow tubes and bulbs floating low in the water. I hated the touch of underwater life.

The best Chandler substitute I’ve found.

Read: The Underground Man by Ross Macdonald ★★★★☆ 📚

Two deer–a doe and a fawn–came down the slope in a dry creek channel, heading for the grove. They saw me and rocking-horsed over a fallen log into the trees.

Read:The Galton Case by Ross Macdonald ★★★☆☆
I’m occasionally re-reading Ross Macdonald after a 40 odd year break. Effective, entertaining, Chandler style detective. 📚

Just finished Black Money by Ross MacDonald

Just finished Black Money by Ross MacDonald. Effective twisting Chandler-like crime from the 60s. I must have read it first as a teen in the 70s and enjoyed it again despite the odd grate against modern sensibilities. 📚 ★★★
