Not quite as fun to read as the first book, The Big Sleep.
I still loved the snappy dialog, but the not entirely coherent plot was a little more off-putting with this one. With more period jargon and quite a bit of casual racism, it was harder to ignore that this was written the better part of a century ago definitely dulled my enjoyment.
I think I'll skip to The Long Goodbye and then call it done for this series.
