Been doing some classic Ross MacDonald detective fiction lately, and though some are way too convoluted for my taste, if you just sit back and let them wash over you they aren't bad and you can see why they have a good reputation. All the ones I've read were part of MacDonald's Lew Archer series, including The Wycherley Woman, Sleeping Beauty, and The Blue Hammer (the last in the series). The first one I mentioned was actually quite clever, plot-wise (and I was able to follow it!), but generally all the Archers are worth your time.
