THE SIMPLE ART OF MURDER
'Anything Raymond Chandler writes about grips the mind from the first sentence. It is a spare finished performance, full of life and character; as tense as a tiger springing into action.

THE LITTLE SISTER
'Raymond Chandler fascinates me ... He accepts the familiar pattern of the contemporary thriller, the world of corpses, whisky for breakfast and luscious nymphomaniacs, but illuminates it with a genuine if sour wit and much oblique social criticism. To read him is like cutting into an over-ripe melon and discovering that it has a rare astringent flavour.
