Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond ChandlerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Raymond Chandler's second Philip Marlowe book seems to me to be the proto-typical pulp noir fiction tale. A perfectly spun plot with a twist that seems to make so much sense but one that I didn't see coming.
This is the book THE BIG SLEEP had prepared him to write. As much as I enjoyed the first Marlowe his story breakdown wasn't nearly as thought it. Here Chandler leaves just enough clues to keep us interested while keeping us completely in the dark until the climactic finale in Mr. Marlowe's single Hollywood apartment.
