The Big Sleep

Raymond Chandler, 1939

Private eye Philip Marlowe takes a job for a rich family in Los Angeles.

  2. How does Los Angeles feel in this book: glamorous, shabby, or both?
  3. How much do you need every loose end tied up to enjoy a mystery?

Questions we wrote from what the book covers. They don’t give away the plot. How we pick. For more, try our questions for any book.
