Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
"This is Marlowe."
"Mr. Philip Marlowe?" She asked.
I glanced at the clock. It was exactly eleven am, as if she had been waiting by the phone for an appointed hour, following someone else's orders to the letter.
"What, d'you think we're a troupe of brothers? There is only me."
It's mid-September, a heatwave has descended on the parched hills of LA, and Private Detective Philip Marlowe is called to the Montgomery estate, an almost mythic place sitting high on top of Beverly Hills. Wealthy twenty-two-year-old Chrissie Montgomery, set to inherit an enormous fortune, is missing.
She's a walking target, ripe for someone to get their claws into. Her dying father, along with his sultry bottle blonde girlfriend, wants her found before that happens. They've hired Anna Riorden, Marlowe's nemesis, too. The search takes them to the roughest neighbourhoods of LA through dive bars and Skid Row. And that's before he finds the body at The Brody Hotel. Who will get to her first, Marlowe, Anne, or the men chasing her fortune? And does she want to be found?
Discover the rest of the inimitable Philip Marlowe series - nine classic Chandler adventures, from The Big Sleep to The Long Goodbye, from Penguin Books.

Good premise but hard to follow
Loved the Hollywood scene but story very hard to follow and a tad long. The main character was likeable.

Could not get into this book
Too long to get into any interesting story line. Found this very boring to be honest.

Performance
Easy to understand what the narrator was saying. However, I felt he was putting on a voice/saying it in a manner I found annoying and I stopped listening.
