A recommendation from a neighbor, this was not a bad book, entertaining really, but the plot was so by-the-numbers that it was easy to guess the outcome. So-so overall enjoyment.

Continuing my in order reading of the Lew Archer series. I technically skipped one (The Chill) because I just read it last summer, although I think it was my favorite in the series so I wouldn't have minded reading it again.
This one was good too, not The Chill good, but entertaining and you get a lot of usually unseen emotions from Archer. He might even be in love. Good stuff.

Another Lew Archer mystery. I liked this one a lot, although I don't care for the title. The Lew Archer series has some perfect titles ("the way some people die" for instance), but this o e is very weak.
Luckily the mystery and writing are strong, very enjoyable.
