THE LONG GOOD BYE by Raymond Chandler 380 pages
Its Chandlers last novel.
He wrote 4 chapters of POODLE SPRINGS but THE LONG GOOD BYE has 52 chapters.
The long and the short of the book is, Philip Marlowe moves heaven and earth to learn what really happened to an acquaintance who killed himself after brutally murdering his wife. The revelation comes in the last chapter. Plenty of characters die. The female characters are all insane. The males characters are all spineless creeps and pansies, PANSY is a favorite word of Chandler. Philip Marlowe always reminds me of Rockford. James Garner played Marlowe in a couple of movies.
