The Long Goodbye (edit title)

• Rated 3 stars

“Sam M. - 312 pages..

This book was not that great of a book at all.........Basically it is about a private investigator who when trying to help a friend with smuggling him out of the country, gets himself into something worse than he thought he would ever get himself into...

It took me a long time to finish this book...I would not recommend it to anyone.”

“Again, Marlowe gets involved by helping a friend. This time, among the wealthy of Los Angeles, who have even less honor and scruples than the poor and criminal. This is one of the most famous of Chandler's novels and incorporates the mix of sex, crime, duplicity, and murder Marlowe always seems to find on the shadowy folds of society. A good starter for Chandler, if you've never read any of his novels. It is long, however, so hang in there. Worth every minute.”
