Book Reviews of The Ivory Grin (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)
Book Review: "You can't stand the human idea."
Summary: 4 Stars
The Ivory Grin (also published under the title Marked for Murder) was the fourth Lew Archer novel and was released in 1952. It's classic hard-boiled territory-- a dubious case, a lying client, a need for cash, and a vicious murder. Lew Archer gets a taste what men will do for love in a town where it seems like anything goes.
Macdonald is one of my favorite of the hard-boiled writers, and The Ivory Grin is an exceptionally good example of the Archer books. It may not stack up against the absolute best in the series (so far, my favorite is the 1st-- The Moving Target) but is still a fine fine book.
Recommended. Particularly for fans of the genre.
