The Wycherly Woman      by Ross Macdonald

Phoebe Wycherly was missing two months before her wealthy father hired Lew Archer to find her. But before he could locate the Wycherly girl, Archer had to reckon with the Wycherly woman, Phoebes mother, an eerily unmaternal blonde who kept too many secrets and left too many corpses in her wake.
