The Long Goodbye

The book I would like to review is "The Long Goodbye", that was written by Raymond Chandler. This is a detective - crime novel. In it there are some conflicts and situations that had attracted my interest.

In the book there are a few main characters I would like to talk about. One of them is Philip Marlow, a private investigator that got friendly with Terry Lenox, a man that looked like a criminal because of the big scar on the side of his face. After a while Philip was arrested because he was suspected of murder, but he was released with a little help from his friend Terry.

Later, Philip was asked for help by a publisher named Howard Spencer and Eileen Wade. They asked him to find Roger Wade that was missing for days. Philip helped the Wades but soon he got into a complecated murder situations that were connected to the Wades. In the end of the story, he found out who the murderers were and what they reasons were.

To conclude, I recommend this novel to anyone who likes detective and crime novels. They might find the book very interesting because there are descriptions of mysteries and their solutions. In addiotion, I learned from the book, a little bit about investigating and I found it really interesting.
