The Ferguson Affair
by Ross Macdonald, 1960, republished in 2010 by Vintage Books, a division of Random House
I chose this book for my Kindle as I was going on a month vacation and needed a book that would be light reading. Another reason I chose it was that Ross Macdonald (aka, Kenneth Millar) was an officer on the same aircraft carrier my father was on in WWII, the U.S.S. Shipley Bay. Macdonald is undergoing a posthumous resurgence in popularity as a writer of mystery stories. My father didn’t know him very well as he kept to himself in his stateroom where he apparently spent his time writing but I was curious to read one his books.
The time Macdonald spent writing while floating around in the Pacific seems to have been well spent. I enjoyed this book quite a bit, although the plot was a little convoluted. It moved right along and I liked the main character who is a lawyer who gets caught up in a murder investigation. It was a perfect book to read on a cruise. I suspect I will read some more of his books in the future.
