Title: This book defines an era of tough guy detective novels
Review: For best of breed, Raymond Chandler's novels top the list.His character, Marlowe, seems to stumble and crash his waythrough the plot. By the end of the story, however,Marlowe's fantastic, witty one-liners and his abilityto actually solve his cases despite irritatingeveryone he meets leads the reader to think he may besmarter than he looks. Women falling hard for him left andright complete the male criteria for excellence. I had tobuy all of Chandler's books and papers after this one.
