Ross Macdonald: A Biography, reviewed for Ellroy Reads

In the latest episode of Ellroy Reads, I give an update on my reading of Red Sheet. Then I focus on the book for this week – Ross Macdonald: A Biography by Tom Nolan. This is an excellent, in-depth study of the life of Kenneth Millar/Ross Macdonald. In fact, it’s so good that James Ellroy wanted Nolan to be his biographer, but I got the gig instead and the result was the Edgar-Award winning Love Me Fierce in Danger: The Life of James Ellroy. I tell the full story of what happened behind the scenes.
