The Big Sleep

After reading the Grimnoir Chronicles I was inspired to see what all the fuss is about. I was not disappointed.

While some allowances must be made for when it was written, it is an exciting mystery with plenty of action and, above all, amazing dialog. The plot was slightly convoluted and a little choppy in places, but mostly easy to follow. The ending was satisfying, although not what I was expecting. I'll be reading more of the Philip Marlowe series.
