Publisher's Summary:
The case of a missing brother from some two-bit Kansas town didn't look like Marlowe's best shot at the big time. But pretty soon it turned out that this particular brother had the embarrassing habit of knowing guys who finished up on the wrong end of an ice-pick. Until, that is, he did too.

The Master at His Best
The writings of Raymond Chandler are among America's true cultural treasures. His well sculpted characters and twisting plots are what we have come to expect from him. However, it is Chandler's superb prose and wit that sets him apart and puts sparks on the page.. The dialog in a Chandler novel or short story is some of the best ever written by an American author. "The Little Sister " is excellent.
There is no room for nitpicking here. The man is a master.

If you're a fan of Crime Noir - you have to read this!
Great story by one of the master's of the Crime Noir genre. Nice plot twist at the end that you just don't see coming.
A GREAT MYSTERY WRITER AWAITING YOUR REDISCOVERY!
They say that Phillip Kerr, author of the Bernie Gunther series, got his inspiration from Chandler. He did, plus. Why plus? The ice pick! You'll have to read them both to find out what I mean.
I started reading Chandler out of curiosity because of the comparisons reviewers of Kerr's books have made to Chandler's; simply put Chandler's books are wonderful, easy reading, very humorous at times and very suspenseful, as are Kerr's (with the possible exception of mass murder)! And Marlowe will always be Humphrey Bogart, a role he did in fact play in the original, 1946, The Big Sleep! And in fact, Bogey played very much the same character, but as Sam Spade, in Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon!
Bahaman reads Chandler
Raymond Chandler is one of the greats and although it's dated, still fun to read.
I highly recommend
unpredictable and cool
So many zigs and zags in Raymond Chandler's plots, plus wacky, cool and intriguing characters.
