I've been rereading THE BIG SLEEP, and what strikes me is we
really find out nothing much about Marlowe the Man. That's
been the knock on Lew Archer, that we never see who Archer is
as a person. I'm more than halfway finished and I think
Marlowe mentions returning to his apartment to grab a shower,
and once drops into his office. I'll try to follow with
FAREWELL, MY LOVELY.
I finished Patrick Quinlan's THE TAKEDOWN for review in
Mystery Scene. It's a dark NYC noir.
