About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

'He lay crumpled on his back. Very lonely, very dead.

The safe door was wide open. A metal drawer was pulled out. It was empty now. There may have been money in it once.'

Los Angeles PI Philip Marlowe's on a case: his client, a dried-up husk of a woman, wants him to recover a rare gold coin called a Brasher Doubloon, missing from her late husband's collection. That's the simple part. It becomes more complicated when Marlowe finds that everyone who handles the coin suffers a run of very bad luck: they always end up dead. That's also unlucky for a private investigator, because leaving a trail of corpses around LA puts cops' noses seriously out of joint. If Marlowe doesn't wrap this one up fast, he's going to end up either in jail or in a wooden box in the ground....

The High Window is Raymond Chandler's third novel featuring laconic PI Philip Marlowe.

Great narration, fun book

The narrator was awesome. He did different voices for all characters and captured that noir vibe in his voice.
I'd read the book before and loved listening to it as well.
