A review by jimmypat
The Barbarous Coast by Ross MacDonald

3.0

I found this to be a harder book to get through than previous Lew Archer novels. However, there were moments where the writing was very good and the ending saved the book. There were generally too many characters in the book and made it hard to follow, but it’s my understanding that the series turns a decisive corner into greatnes after this book, so I’m ready for the next one.
