Ross Macdonald strikes again with a convoluted plot that works itself out to perfection in the final pages. Throughout The Chill, the sardonic and dogged Lew Archer spins witty dialogue seemingly effortlessly. What sets Archer apart from his predecessors Marlowe and the Continental Op is compassion compounded with toughness, with a dash of concern for the social issues of the day.
