Raymond Chandler: The Lady in the Lake (Dramatised) Audiobook

" I think I even liked this more than The Big Sleep. "

" I want to be in a situation where when someone tells me that they don't like my attitude, I can reply, "It's a good thing I'm not selling it." I love a good mystery and while I sort of guessed at part of the solution, I still loved the chase. "

" Raymond Chandler is the best. "

" Raymond Chandler en estado puro, o sea Philip Marlowe. "

" An atmospheric and strangely sad tale. I was taken in from the very beginning. "

" I didn't like this one as well at first, but once it gets going it really is fantastic. the subtle way he weaves hints to the reader as to the true nature of events is outstanding. "

" now THAT is a detective novel. The twist isn't that hard to figure out but it keeps you gasping the whole way through. "

" I liked this book mostly because it was hard-boiled as hell. Classic noir. You can't beat the atmosphere, and of course, the patter. "

" Quick read and a pretty good story. "

" Phillip Marlow goes to San Bernardino and hates it. Probably Chandler's best book. "

" A disappointing read. Lots of double-crossing and mistaken identities but I found it difficult to care about the characters. Marlowe's usually razor-sharp wit was missing here too. "

" Actually the first Raymond Chandler book I ever read and in many ways my favorite. "

" Another really good, really clever Chandler novel. I'd have enjoyed it more if I didn't dislike the central cop so very intensely. But yes, clever! This one's got a Christie twist, that I did like. "

" Another great Chandler read, though I didn't feel that the story held together quite as well as some of his others. But still highly entertaining. "

" Great book. I do prefer Hammet's prose to Chandler's, but Chandler does have a lyrical quality, some great lines and a memorable story. "

" Awesome, though I knew the twist from the get-go. "

" On a bit of a Chandler binge; liked this one a lot plus I guessed the plot twist quite early on - yay me! (probably that means it's a fairly obvious plot twist). I wish I was as calm & capable & clever as Marlowe... "

" i don't care what anyone says: chandler trumps hammett (sp?) every time. this is film noir in type-and it's good baby, good! "

" Even if you don't like this genre, these are worth the read. "

" Another Phillip Marlowe classic! Raymond Chandler amazing turn of a phrase never ceases to amaze me! "

" I really enjoyed this book and am planning to read some more Chandler in the future. "

" One of my literary heroes. The creator of Phillip Marlowe, Private Eye. "

" Whatever you have to say about his plots, there is no short story writer more vivid than Chandler(at least at pulling you into a specific and detailed universe in just a few pages). It's heartbreaking to leave the characters when the stories are over. "

" Not as good as his more famous novels, but with this omnibus one can chart Chandler's ascent from budding Pulp author to the master of his craft. "

" After "Inherent Vice" I had to go back to the source material. This Chandler guy wasn't bad, was he? "

" I've read a lot of these short stories in Trouble is My Business and The Simple Art of Murder, but since this is a collection of all of Chandler's stories, I'm also not in a big hurry to read them all. Better to just read one when the mood strikes me, don't you think? "

" Yummy, yummy, yummy! I'm ready to read it all over again --it's like eating scrumptious, dark chocolates! "
