"Chandler wrote like a slumming angel and invested the sun-blinded streets of Los Angeles with a romantic presence:" -- Ross Macdonald

Dramatic and very good

I agree the music trumpets the drama, but who deserves extras more than Marlow. Chandler's literary flourish may not be as top notch in this episode as in others, yet the depth of all characters here is striking~ Marlow accepts his dangerous psyche more than ever.

So Marlowe

Excellent as always, audio production fits the story well. Liked music between chapters, so Marlowe.

Not Chandler's finest, but Brick is always great!

I love Marlowe

I’ve lost track of how many Chandler books I’ve been through. And Brick is the perfect narrator.

Overproduced

The music was too loud and distracting. I love Scott Brick - this was not one of his best .,,,
