The High Window (Abridged) Audiobook

" Good, but not his best "

" this book is best read to oneself in a ridiculous humphrey bogart accent "

" Raymond Chandler: who knew? Better than Big Sleep, I reckon. "

" boo yeah nothing really to say here. MYSTERY! "

" Marlowe truly is the asshole dick with a heart of gold. "

" Philip Marlowe gets pulled into the web of intrigue of the Murdock family. They leave in their wake the bodies of the unfortunate people that crosses their path. The plot is a fairly intricate chase for a missing collector's coin that hides some very ugly human behaviors. As always, Marlowe is the white night with a lot of dust on his armor and there are few damsels to save, some less innocent than others. The translation, this time was from Marcel Duhamel another celebrated French writer, so the words flow and it's done with flair and panache. "

" Who else could make antique coins so intriguing? "

" Great Phillip Marlowe adventure, always a fun character to go back to. A must read for any fan of mystery fiction. Smart writing, great dialogue and a good mystery. "

" Chandler is one of the best writers in English of the 20th Century. "

" without a doubt, there are reasons why Chandler is named as a master. The High Window is one of many of those reasons. "

" One of my favorite authors. I'm working my way through all of his novels. "

" "Then he picked the glass up and tasted it and sighed again and shook his head sideways with a half smile; the way a man does when you give him a drink and he needs it very badly and it is just right and the first swallow is like a peek into a cleaner, sunnier, brighter world." "

" i love every book this man ever wrote. even not having read quite a few of them, i know. it's hard to pick a favorite out of the ones i have read, but i guess this would be it. "

" I just love Chandler. He's so direct. So fun, and he makes living in LA (today) a pleasure for what came so many years before. "
