Produktbeschreibungen
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.

Great collection of classic LA detective stories,

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Trouble Is My Business (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard) (Taschenbuch)
Raymond Chanlder's collection of stories in this volume are priceless. He writes with a distinct formula, but the difference is the way he tells the story; without too much information for the reader, but just enough to keep you interested. Every Chandler story should be made into a movie.

The best of Raymond Chandler,
Von burglar "burglar" (Newport Beach, Ca. USA) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Trouble Is My Business (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard) (Taschenbuch)
There are those who feel that The Big Sleep or Farewell My Lovely are Chandler's best work, but I disagree. As fine as they are, they were, after all, taken from his previously published short stories. Chandler was not a novelist, really. He was writer of scenes. He could spend paragraphs describing a room, or a person, or an open field, for that matter, and leave you begging for more. These four stories are the best he had to offer. Red Wind gets the most attention, usually, thanks to the classic opening paragraph, but my personal favorite is Goldfish. The character of Carol Donovan is the most exquisitely drawn hard-boiled female since Brigit O'Shaughnessy, and the finale is as good as the finale of Shane.

Amazon user be cautioned,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Trouble Is My Business (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard) (Taschenbuch)
CAUTION: The edition shipped by Amazon is not the642-page, twelve-story edition of this title advertised here and not the one which the online review discusses. For some bizarre reason, and sometime between 1988 and now, Vintage has edited out eight of the most important stories and left the reader with only four, but kept the same title: Trouble is My Business. An outrage, certainly. Don't be fooled by the bibliographic information given by Amazon: the book you receive will have only 214 pages and contain only four stories!
