Like miker, I may be jumping the gun for the 1950s theme next
month. I finished Ross Macdonald's THE DROWNING POOL
(1950).
A different Lew Archer here than THE BLUE HAMMER Lew Archer.
The tone is in TDP is more gritty and hardboiled. Lew is less
the romantic toward the ladies he meets. I like Macdonalds'
writing in TDP. A less polished and more direct style has its
appeal. There's less psychological development of the
characters, more emphasis on plot.
