William said, " I was just reading The Chill by Macdonald and
I'm not going to bother to finish it. It's really
boring."
When I discovered Ross Macdonald in the early '60s, I
couldn't read his books fast enough. I stayed up into the wee
hours finishing some of them, including THE CHILL, probably
my favorite among his books. I vaguely remember someone
(Boucher?) saying that Macdonald's plots were "like a
fishhook in the mind." That's the way they worked for me.
Obviously not for others.
