The Chill (Lew Archer #11)

... wow. Page after page linear story, verbose, dead dialogue and shallow characters. I'm done.
Hmmm....
I was having trouble remembering "The Chill" when challenged by a friend. I see I reviewed and rated it in March, but apparently I did not finish it. It looks like I read at least 10%.
*checks and reads back*
Yes, the first 12% of the book is horrifically verbose and dull. Stilted clichéd dialogue, sometimes smart-alec but without being snappy, reads like a laundry list.
Ponderous. Perhaps it picks up later?

Did you ever finish? It's a classic. I loved it, but each to his own.

Nope. Truly awful. 😢I'm glad you enjoyed it!
