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.

Format:Taschenbuch
This epic Raymond Chandler novel is his most finely crafted and perhaps the best ever of its genre. Featuring Chandler's world-weary private detective, it mixes an intriguing plot with fascinating social comment. The plot concerns Marlowe's dealings with a drunk named Terry Lennox and his role in an escape from a murder charge to Mexico. Most of the novel, however is taken up in the rich suburbs of L.A. It has everything that all the best Chandler/Marlowe books have, clever, poetic, often humourous dialogue, cynicism, characters who seem tired of life and yet so full of it, and the sun-drenched L.A. setting. Those used to the more pacy narrative writings such as 'The Big Sleep' and 'The Lady in the Lake' may be a tad cool on this book as it spends as much time dissecting the lives of its downtrodden characters as it does unfold the plot. The later film version, brilliant though it is, does not even do this book justice. EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!!
Format:Taschenbuch
This must be one of the best crime novels I've ever read, even though I must say I'm not a big fan of the genre. The Long Goodbye was my second journey into Chandler (The Big Sleep being the first), and whereas I liked The Big Sleep quite much, it isn't a match for this. The story is brilliant, and Chandler allows it to develop slowly - not too many men with smoking guns this time. The characters are very rich. A suspense novel probably can't get much better than this.
Format:Taschenbuch
This novel would be my selection for Most Ignored American Classic. It is a novel that totally transcends the mystery genre. Few serious students of American literature are familiar which Cahndler; that's a shame. In England, he is often mentioned with Hemingway, Steinbeck, or Fitzgerald as a great American writer of the 20th century. Americans seem to dismiss him because his genre is not respected. That's the real crime!

Classic rat-a-tat-tat from the Golden Age of gumshoes
I love this book, as well as the rest of the Chandler treasure trove. As I read the compellingly convoluted story, I can hear the random clacking of the old Royal typewriter in my... Lesen Sie weiter...

Disappointing
Long on atmosphere but short on plot and character development (save for the character of Marlowe himself), I couldn't wait to finish this novel and move on to something else. Lesen Sie weiter...

Chandler at his peak
This is Chandler's best. It is mean and hard boiled. It set the standard for those that followed ( the James Ellroy books and Matt Scudder series ). Lesen Sie weiter...

Simply the finest novel by arguably the finest crime writer

The most thoughtful and affecting detective novel out there.
Like all classic hard boiled novels, Chandler makes his investigator more than a narrator. In a melancholy examination of alcoholoic writers, pigeonholed women and scarred war... Lesen Sie weiter...

Raymond Chandler's masterpiece, despite the Big Sleep.
Don't get me wrong from that summary up there. I liked The Big Sleep, it was one of the great novels of any type, mystery or otherwise. Lesen Sie weiter...
