Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Everything was quiet and sunny and calm. No cause for excitement whatever. It's only Marlowe, finding another body. He does it rather well by now. Murder-a-day Marlowe, they call him....
Private investigator Philip Marlowe is hired to find a missing woman. Derace Kingsley's wife ran away to Mexico to get a divorce and marry a hunk named Chris Lavery. Or so the note she left her husband says. Trouble is, when Philip Marlowe asks Lavery about it he denies everything. But when Marlowe next encounters Lavery, he's denying nothing - on account of the two bullet holes in his heart. Now Marlowe's on the trail of a killer, who leads him out of smoggy Los Angeles all the way to a murky mountain lake....
The Lady in the Lake is Raymond Chandler's fourth novel featuring laconic PI Philip Marlowe.

Brilliant story.
Listening to all the Raymond Chandler Marlowe books on Audible. The stories as very good, great characters and plenty of twists. I’d read them all sometime ago but enjoying again. The narration is very good, all in all superb.

Brilliant narration, solid plot & gripping.
The story of a private detective hired to find a missing lady takes you right into California to a time where the language was brash and descriptive and where people were confident and in your face.
The plot is solid but not unnecessarily complicated and the narration puts you right there on the ground.
Fully deserves its five star score.

The original hard-boiled P.I.
Nobody writes like Raymond Chandler., his descriptions and characterisation make you see the book like a movie. Maybe the hard-boiled P.I. feels like a cliche now but Chandler created it. Complicated plot as always. Beautifully read in a genuine American accent.

Classic Chandler
Another classic from the pen of Raymond Chandler, featuring his classic noire detective, Philip Marlow.
Once again what seems a simple case becomes increasingly complex in a tale packed with bent coppers, dodgy doctors, and dangerous femme fatales.
This product is great and recommended.

Good performance, watertight plot and well crafted
Marlowe fans will enjoy this. Plot is good and watertight. Chandler seems to be going through the motions somewhat with his characterisation of Marlowe, which is a shame and weakened the story for me.

Why break chapters with music!
Excellent book, after all it is Chandler, beautifully performed by Scott Brick. Albeit, music totally unnecessary and most annoying.
