The Big Sleep - Raymond Chandler - A Short Summary and Review

A short summary of the book The Big Sleep:

A private investigator looks into blackmail and a disappearance, stumbles into a murder, and uncovers something absolutely insane.

My favorite Raymond Chandler quote from the book:

"Dead men are heavier than broken hearts."

Questions to ponder while reading the book:

What is wrong with the Sherwood sisters?

How much family dysfunction is too much?

My review of The Big Sleep:

Drama filled.

Politically incorrect.

I love noir.
