Thank you, Goodreads, where I won a copy of this book. While the writing wasn‘t at all bad, this book just wasn‘t for me. I was a bit disappointed with the way one of the main characters turned out. I won‘t say any more on that topic, as I don‘t want to give it away. While the story was action packed, it seemed to be a very typical detective story. Again, not a bad read but just not for me.

"Good for you," Basilio said. Not the answer Marlowe was expecting. "I'll tell you, kid, the job isn't exactly like that. I mean the heroic stuff comes up now and then but most of the time, you're looking for a lost horse or working undercover at Burger King or searching junkyard for an heirloom bedpan."

50/150 At first I was leery of this book, not sure how I felt about updating iconic PI Philip Marlowe to 2022. I'm glad I gave it a chance, because it was an amazing read. Gritty, violent, dark and extremely twisted. Marlowe remains a white knight, a man with a strong sense of honor, of right and wrong. I hope Ide plans to do more Marlowe books.
