The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler

3.0

Definitely the top end of noir detective fiction, and well written. I tore through it quickly to figure out what happened, lots of twists and moving parts that connect satisfyingly. It’s hard to give more than 3 stars (maybe 2) because of the unending casual misogyny and racism, and to lesser degrees homophobia and antisemitism (less only because it wasn’t relevant to the plot).
