What people are saying
Half of classic Hollywood mystery writer Renee Patrick @RPatrickBooks with @romyk. Editor, @noirfoundation's @noircitymag. Cocktail enthusiast. Mets fan.
Distinction nobody asked for: HARPER (1966) is a better movie, but THE DROWNING POOL (1975) is a better adaptation of Ross Macdonald. https://t.co/3b3zyIrpxA
Writes books. Edits books. Drinks enough to kill himself. Something else would kill him anyway. Real good at self-justification.
Tonight I watched Fritz Lang's The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, and discovered that's where Ross MacDonald likely took the title The Drowning Pool. The scenes are damn similar. (Book moved to top of TBR pile.)
Print editor, @blackstoneaudio. Prolific book reviewer. Ex-newspaperer. Fledgling fictioner. Would trade 2022 for 1972 in a heartbeat (it’s a love beat).
