The Goodbye Coast: A Philip Marlowe Novel by Joe Ide
Joe Ide brings back hard-boiled Philip Marlowe in today’s Los Angeles—a city as gritty as ever with no shortage of dodgy characters. As I followed Marlowe and his former policeman father through two tough cases, I didn’t find myself comparing the story to Chandler’s original novels. Instead, I was simply enjoying a good yarn. This is a fun detective story that stands on its own. —Glenn
