Playback by Raymond Chandler

4.0

The last Marlowe book written by Chandler is not as bad as it’s reputation suggests. It feels smaller in scope than most Marlowe novels but it’s got a good plot and crisp prose. To the bitter end, Chandler cannot write female characters so he remains consistent in that regard as well. Not the best of this series but if you’ve come this far with Marlowe, you likely won’t be disappointed.
