Marlowe falls hard for a redhead here, but in his own way, he keeps his wits in spite of it all. A curious story, but an intriguing one.
Considered Chandler's worst book, but I found it thoroughly enjoyable even after having read all of Chandler's previously published books first. It's darkly humorous, with Chandler's usual gathering of strange characters. Hell, even at his worst Chandler delivers and out does most anyone you can name today.

Probably not the best choice for my first Raymond Chandler book. I will give him another try, but this book was painful.
