Best Noir Fiction (22) Folio Society (491) No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. 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. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
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.
