Book # 100 for 2016! Holy crap, I have consumed a bunch of books this year, blowing away my second-highest year (2015) where I read 72 books... At least two thirds have been audiobooks, but that doesn't bother me. My commute to the office went from a 5 block walk (2007-2014) to a 30/40 minute walk.
Sleeping Beauty is the second to last book in the Lew Archer series. I like this one a lot, the oil spill felt topical and sad -- this did not feel like a book from 50 years ago...
One thing I find interesting about these later Archer books is MacDonald has him sleeping with women more often. Women were always interested in Archer, some blatantly but there were only a few (that I can recall) times when Archer succumbed. These last few books have all included such dalliances.
I just started the final Lew Archer book, will be sad to have this one completed. Really enjoy these books.
