Reviews for The Ross Macdonald Collection: A Library of America Boxed Set

The finest series of detective novels ever written by an American. --The New York Times Book Review Macdonald brought a new method of psychological construction to the hard-boiled novel ... he was in line with many of the important mid-century movements of American literary fiction, and deserves to be seen as a worthy addition to them. -- The Times Literary Supplement
