What are Ross MacDonald's best books?

[Ben Cameron]

Hi all

I have just read the excellent Black Money, which I enjoyed very much, and am wonding if anyone can recommend other Lew Archer Ross MacDonald books. I know some of them are not in print but even if they are not I can try to track them down.

Thanks

None of MacDonald's books are bad. Anything you can get will be good.

I am currently reading all of Ross MacDonalds books in order to study his style. I really enjoyed Find a Victim, thought Drowning Pool was "okay", and I am presently reading The Wycherly Woman which is a page turner. One thing I have noticed about MacDonald is that his character Lew Archer seems to never take a break or sleep.....this creates a pacing that keeps the reader absorbed in the story well after one has supposed to have turned off the lights and gone to sleep for the night.
