Title: Should have been far better
Review: I thoroughly agree with the last reviewer Mr Reed. Hiney's biography contains a significant number of very basic errors in describing the plots of Raymond Chandler's novels and short stories. These are elementary details, and a serious biographer has no excuse for making obvious factual mistakes.I don't think this is a bad book either, but I do question conclusions of anyone who cannot check source material thoroughly.Frank MacShane wrote a biography of Raymond Chandler which I believe is far better than Mr Hiney's work.
