This was my first time reading an American noir novel. Murder, drugs, jewellery gangs, gambling and varying other mysteries of the underworld all follow on from this initial encounter. The story starts, as Beth notes, with Marlowe working a dead-end case when he inadvertently becomes embroiled with ex-convict Moose Malloy’s search for his old girlfriend Velma Valento. You may wish to cast your mind back a week to Beth’s review before reading on.įarewell, My Lovely was written in 1940 and is the second of Raymond Chandler’s novels featuring the private investigator, Philip Marlowe.
