Trouble is My Business is a collection of four riveting novellas from Raymond Chandler. In the first of the four cases LA PI Philip Marlowe is offered a job that leaves a bad taste in the mouth: smearing a girl who's 'got her hooks into a rich man's pup'. Before too long Marlowe's up to his neck in corpses and cops and he's taken pity on the girl. There's nothing like making trouble of your business . . . The four novellas collected here are quintessential Raymond Chandler: slick, crystal-clear writing that pins the reader to the seat and won't let go until the last page is turned.… (més)

Trouble Is My Business is a short story collection by author Raymond Chandler. The individual tales were originally published in the 1930s in various crime fiction magazines and were compiled in book form in 1950. The stories are categorized as “hard-boiled” mystery fiction. ( )

Same name as a previous bk listed by me here but w/ a larger collection inside - including "The Lady in the Lake" in short form. Who makes the decisions to publish a bk of the same name as a previous bk by the same author is a mystery to me. ( )

Went back to Chandler for the 1st time since school. As I remembered the dry humour is unmatched and the drive relentless, with the dicks slugging out solutions more than detecting them, but at times the slang is now so obscure that the plot is difficult to follow. ( )

Excellent collection of Chandlers' short stories. All of the same hardboiled sort, and the detectives have different names, but pretty much the same guy. The last few the main character is Marlowe. Beautiful stuff for the genre.

Some literary antiquarian of a rather special type may one day think it worth while to run through the files of the pulp detective magazines which flourished during the late twenties and early thirties, and determine just how and when and by what steps the popular mystery story shed its refined good manners and went native.

Please don't combine this work, which contains unknown editions of either the novella or the novella published with other stories. The novella and at least three different collections have been published with this title:

A collection first published in 1939 included five stories: "Trouble is My Business," "Red Wind," "I'll Be Waiting," "Goldfish," and "Guns at Cyrano's."

A collection first published in 1950 included four stories: "Trouble is My Business," "Finger Man," "Goldfish," and "Red Wind."

A more recent collection (perhaps from 2006) included twelve stories: "Killer in the Rain,' "The Man Who Liked Dogs," "The Curtain," "Try the Girl," "Mandarin's Jade," "Bay City Blues," "The Lady in the Lake," "No Crime in the Mountains," "Trouble is My Business," "Finger Man," "Goldfish," and "Red Wind."

If your edition is combined with this work, please separate it and combine it with the appropriate collection or with the single novella.
