From Library Journal
Chandler is not only the best writer of hardboiled PI stories, he's one of the 20th century's top scribes, period. His full canon of novels and short stories is reprinted in trade paper featuring uniform covers in Black Lizard's signature style. A handsome set for a reasonable price.

Kurzbeschreibung
This is a brand new BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of a classic Raymond Chandler mystery, starring Toby Stephens as Philip Marlowe. Fast-talking, trouble-seeking private eye Philip Marlowe is a different kind of detective: a moral man in an amoral world. California in the '40s and '50s is as beautiful as a ripe fruit and rotten to the core, and Marlowe must struggle to retain his integrity amidst the corruption he encounters daily. Derace Kingsley, a wealthy businessman, hires Marlowe to find his estranged wife Crystal, fearing that she may have got herself into a scandal. Rich, pretty, spoiled and reckless, Crystal is all kinds of trouble rolled into one as far as Marlowe's concerned, but he agrees to take the case and heads to Kingsley's vacation home in Little Fawn Lake to find the lady. And sure enough, one turns up - drowned and almost unrecognizable except for her clothes and jewellery. But there's a snag: the body is identified as Muriel Chess, the caretaker's wife. With Crystal still missing and corpses turning up wherever he goes, the case soon turns into one of the toughest Marlowe's ever encountered...Starring Toby Stephens ("Vexed", "Robin Hood") this thrilling dramatisation perfectly evokes the atmosphere of Chandler's fast-paced, absorbing novel.

I have read all the Chandler novels since about 1970, a few of them multiple times, but it had been at least a decade since giving him a full reading.
"Lady in the Lake" is not as interesting to me as the movie version - which altered significant portions of the plot and which was shot entirely POV - but when the book is re-read, the brilliance of Chandler's prose stands out. His Marlowe is funny and morose and heroic (in context)... and approaches a difficult case in a way which seems very true to the man and the times.
The man could write!!

The person 'A reader from California , September 1, 1998 who said I felt that this book was very interesting and clever', etc.
is a very stupid and ignorant person. Thank you for ruining the book for me and others.

Raymond Chandler takes us through Marlowe to where good and evil become virtually hard to tell. Marlowe goes beyond his usual work to the summertime getaway places of his time. Filled with twists and turns as well as the gritty dialog that I didn't expect from Chandler. The Lady in the Lake is a good book that delivers the mystery and what not he is known for. This has been my favorite summer reading book yet.
