In The Lady in the Lake, hardboiled crime fiction master Raymond Chandler brings us the story of a couple of missing wives—one a rich man's and one a poor man's—who have become the objects of Philip Marlowe's investigation. One of them may have gotten a Mexican divorce and married a gigolo and the other may be dead. Marlowe's not sure he cares about either one, but he's not paid to care.

My second Chandler, after The Big Sleep. Not bad at all, pleasantly twisty and appropriately Marlowe.
Written in 1943, when all the men drank rye and all the women were platinum blondes. This hard-boiled story is fun but the plot is a little weak.
