Margaret Culkin Banning, on writing:
Fiction is not a dream.
Nor is it guesswork.
It is imagining based on facts,
and the facts must be accurate or the work of imagining will not stand up.

The Wycherly Woman
The Wycherly Woman
by Ross Macdonald.
Vintage Crime / Black Lizard.
Paperback.
First published in 1961.

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.
