I do not know why finishing this book took me so long. It was a great read and the story was captivating, but I took the book aside at some moments. Right now, writing this review I find myself guilty of not finishing the book in a couple of days. I must admit that every new book I read from Raymond Chandler is better than the previous one.  The character of the main character is complex and I like him for this. Not everything he does is easily predictable, making this immersion into the story superb. I find many mutual features between me and Detective Marlowe.
