When I first started reading this book, I didn't think I was going to like it or that I would finish it and at times didn't really understand what was going on. But I stuck with it and eventually things became clear and I found it quite intriguing with many twists to the story and a surprise ending.

Philip Marlowe is a witty and likable character and while reading, I felt like I was watching an old black & white movie that he was narrating.

A good, fast, read.
