>For those of you who've read "Poodle >Springs" and the follow-up, how does Parker's work on Marlowe stand up >>to the Chandler test?--Duane I didn't care much for "Poodle Springs" (never could get beyond the name for one), but I enjoyed the follow on more...though I'm drawing a blank on its name right now. I'd second Estleman as a worthy follow-on writer. Don't know if Robert Townes, who wrote the script to "Chinatown" does novels, but he'd also be a good choice for a follow-on to Marlowe.
