Summary

Moments of Brillance
Great narrator, captures the weary and corrupt world Lew Archer finds himself in once again.
The storyline is perhaps a tad cliched, a beautiful woman in deep trouble and lots of money at stake. But this is Ross MacDonald’s oeuvre and he brings it out of the 50’s and into the more eco conscious 70’s.
There are sentences and phrases that are so perfect you will be tempted to capture them for posterity.
For me, this is a perfect expression of updated noir written by a master.

Solid prose from Chandler and Hammett's succesor
Good and effortless narrative, using th E hardboiled framework to depict broken dreams and lives of characters without control. even the protagonist is not fully empowered. Not predictable at all with its various twists and revelations
