Title: One Of The Best Mysteries of All Time
Review: This was the finest novel Ross MacDonald penned and that means it's the best of the best. After you read the first chapter you can't put it down. When it was published I think the novel lost the Edgar Award for best novel of the year to an Ellis Peters book. That shows how even writers can be hugely mistaken. It's a novel that grips you and doesn't let go until, at the conclusion, the grip squeezes you even tighter.An intricate plot but MacDonald doesn't cheat the reader. All things are explained at the end. Several of MacDonald's other novels are excellent but this was his finest. If anyone ranks the ten best mysteries of the 20th century, this has to be on the list.
