The Doomsters
Ross Macdonald
Bantam Books, 1983; First Published 1958.
A Lew Archer novel. Archer is one version of the California detective, whose prototype is Dashiell Hammet's Sam Spade, and whose best example, in my opinion, is Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe. This particular story is about a family whose members keep dying violently, suicide accident or murder? That's what Archer finds out. Not a great read, but OK. No Marlowe style nifties, though a few sentences come close.
