Entertaining
Not looking for classic literature here.
Ticks all the boxes for an enjoyable ,hard boiled, smart ass detective story
The narration I thought was excellent.
Will work my way through Ross Macdonalds collection.
Nice break in the action from more cerebral and demanding reads.

Big Improvement on Book One
The first 'Lew Archer' mystery ('The Moving Target') was a somewhat scatterbrained collection of action scenes and poorly-connected incidents surrounding the disappearance of a socialite's shady husband. This second case is much more palatable - starting with an attempt to blackmail an über-rich wife and quickly morphing into an intriguing tale of greed, duplicity, and murder that flows naturally. Ross Macdonald clearly reveres the work of writers like Chandler and Hammett, delivering a nicely "noir" moody P.I. adventure. His imagery and Similes/Metaphors remain a little heavy-handed, but dialogue, character motivations, and action scenes are well-contrived and well-executed.
Tom Parker's narration is likewise improved in this installment in the series. He still reads much too slowly (1.20X is the optimal playback speed), but his tone is more emotive and his voice-acting is spot-on in this recording.
This audiobook rates 7 stars out of 10. 'The Drowning Pool' further has great standalone merit - you can listen to this one without having experienced the first book. It was offered for free with my subscription but it would actually rate a Credit for fans of old-school hardboiled fiction. I can definitely recommend this offering.
