Description: Chandler's first novel, I found his sleazy Hollywood intimately familiar due to the impactChandler's first novel, I found his sleazy Hollywood intimately familiar due to the impact of his work ever since, I think. What Chandler wrote had the structure of a mystery and the characters of a hardnosed detective story, but it's his way with words that makes it worth reading. You come away feeling like Chandler knows just the right way to describe anything. Yet his wordplay doesn't leave you disengaged but rather aids in immersing you into the world he's creating....
