I’ve decided to binge read (and possibly watch) some Philip Marlow tales. I started with The High Window mainly because I couldn’t remember much about it (although a lot came back to me as I read). These books are dated but still ‘cool’. The snappy dialogue holds its own; the plots are pretty solid too. Rather like when you read Agatha Christie books, you have to willingly suspend your knowledge of modern tech, especially mobile phones. But if you can do that, you’ll enjoy this (and probably all the Raymond Chandler books). Recommended. Well, I knew that before I even started reading it again.
