A review by jakewritesbooks
The Little Sister by Raymond Chandler

4.0

Probably my favorite Marlowe after The Big Sleep. I don't know if it was age or what but Chandler's plots have gotten less convoluted (though this one still kind of is but is easier to follow) and his dialogue snaps. This one is a bit of an anti-Hollywood polemic but is still a readable tale. The whole Los-Angeles-the-fallen-city routine is beyond cliche now but it felt original and authentic here from Chandler.
