As long as you're trying on Ross MacDonald for size, I
recommend "The Chill", "The Zebra Striped Hearse" and "The
Galton Affair". They're all fabulous, and "The Galton Affair"
is transcendent. It's one hell of a psychological novel which
happens to involve a murder mystery.
I envy you, Mike. Although I can read MacDonald over and
over, I can never again read him for the first time, if you
know what I mean.
All the Best,
Brian
