5.0 out of 5 stars The Underground Man is a top-notch detective novel, 16 Aug 2001
By A Customer
The Underground Man is number one on my list together with White Butterfly (written by Walter Mosley ). And I have read over hundred novels (mostly detective novels ) in english. Ross Macdonald understands life, human beings and family problems. I have read The Underground Man in 1992 and I want read it again. I can also recommend other novel(written by Ross Macdonald ): The Chill is absolutely worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Environmental concerns echo an unsolved vanishing act, 1 Dec 2008
By Mr. A. V. Ward "Joburg Joller" (Weybridge, Surrey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Madonald's novels are carefully honed and crafted works of literature disguised as detective novels. He is the poet of contemporary disaffection, as is evidenced by this mystery which has one of the best openings of any of Archer's cases, leading on to a family tragedy spanning generations.
