Not as good as many of his others. But it's still Chandler, so still pretty good.
I really like this one. After I read the first book Raymond Chandler wrote, I was not sure if I would want to read any other one. Too many old clichés and it felt more like reading a really bad pulp story.
But this one changes it, this is a really great story, well written, well told.
[Doesn't change the fact that every body smokes, and there isn't a page where there is nobody smoking ;)]
Definitely the worst of the Marlowe books that I've read. Starts fairly strong, but breaks down part way through.
