I'm curious too. I've only read The Chill, and that was years
ago, I didn't have a strong negative reaction like I've had
with some, but thought McDonald didn't live up to the hype.
certainly he didn't impress me the way many other authors,
both classic and contemporary have. so yeah, I too would very
much like to see what bugged Miker about Ross McDonald in
particular, because I never gave it much thought beyond what
I just expressed
