I could be social or I could read (I'd rather
read).
My kinda party.
What if I told you I actually enjoy staying at
home?
Your introversion is a gift that doesn't need

The Chill
The Chill
by Ross Macdonald.
First published 1963.
Published by Vintage Crime / Black Lizard.
Paperback.
ISBN-10: 0679768076
ISBN-13: 978-0679768074
Description:
In The Chill a distraught young man hires
Archer to track down his runaway bride. But no sooner has he found Dolly
Kincaid than Archer finds himself entangled in two murders, one twenty years
old, the other so recent that the blood is still wet. What ensues is a
detective novel of nerve-racking suspense, desperately believable characters,
and one of the most intricate plots ever spun by an American crime writer.
"The American private eye, immortalized
by Hammett, refined by Chandler, brought to its zenith by Macdonald."
– The New York Times Book Review.
"The finest series of detective novels
ever written by an American."
– The New York Times.
