The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Chandler nails it out of the park in this Marlowe mystery, which finds him drawn into the lifestyles of the rich and famous by his association with a strange, white-haired man on the skids. Chandler's prose is magnificent, here--characters engage in witty banter and menace one another with equal flair, and the mystery Marlowe finds himself drawn into has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing to the end. Marlowe might be a bastard sometimes, but he's a grand one.
