The Barbarous Coast by Ross Macdonald. Not the best in the series but still deserves a look see from the noir fan. Rating - 3/5

Ah. Now you'll have to read his The Inugami Clan aka The Inugami Curse, then watch the 1976 film.

 The Merry Misogynist
      The Merry Misogynist
   by Colin Cotterill
 by Colin CotterillDr. Siri Paiboun #6. Another visit, in 1978, with Dr. Siri, the 73-year-old national coroner of Laos. I'm reading these in order and I always enjoy them but this one wasn't the best, maybe because we know from very early on who is the murderer. 3 stars.

   Red 1-2-3 by John Katzenbach
 Red 1-2-3 by John KatzenbachA mediocre novelist goes nuts and decides to kill three women and write a book about it, thinking this will be a best seller.
The plot's a bit wacky. 2.5 stars

   by Laura Lippman

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
 Barbara, I just started going through his books recently. They’re very good, and don’t romanticize like many mysteries of the period. Almost noirish. I actually found the first two a bit more graphic than most books of the period, especially the one I just read.
