Recommended reading - The Wycherly Woman (1961):


The Wycherly Woman

By Ross Macdonald.

Vintage Crime / Black Lizard.
Paperback.
First published in 1961.

ISBN-10: 0375701443
ISBN-13: 978-0375701443

Description:

“A fine yarn…. The pace is fast, the plot well-knit, with plenty of suspense and surprise as extra dividends.”
Chicago Tribune.

Phoebe Wycherly was missing two months before her wealthy father hired Archer to find her. That was plenty of time for a young girl who wanted to disappear to do so thoroughly – or for someone to make her disappear. And before he can locate the Wycherly girl, Archer had to reckon with the Wycherly woman, Phoebe's mother, an eerily unmaternal blonde who keeps too many residences, had too many secrets, and left too many corpses in her wake.

“Macdonald is one of a handful of writers in the [mystery] genre whose worth and quality surpass the limitations of the form.” – Los Angeles Times.
