"Farewell My Lovely" is next on my list for Chandler, but I just finished a couple of Elmore Leonard books. I will probably read some thing from a different genre before going back to more crime dramas.
Yeah he's in a different league from a lot of those other guys. Stories may be similar, but the writing is superior. I should say from what I have read. I'm fairly new to this genre.
