These dramatised adaptations of Raymond Chandler's classic novels featuring the iconic private detective Philip Marlowe are true extensions of the originals from which they were derived. They preserve the atmosphere of the 1940s/1950s era in which they are set. The dialogue crackles, and in Toby Stephens interpretation of Marlowe, the world weariness, deep personal morality, humanity and integrity of Chandler's creation come through in every nuance, not least in the splendid one liners, put downs and laconic wisecracks that only Chandler could write. Stephens' performance is masterful, perhaps at its best in "The Little Sister". I have read most of the novels a number of times - they, and this collection of related dramas will never date. I am only sorry that I cant give them more than a five star rating.

These will be for long winter nights and long drives.
Superbly done by the BBC and the cast.
These are part of an audio project recording great detective stories

I first heard these dramas on Radio 4 earlier this year and was really hooked.
The CD set arrived well within the allotted time and was in good condition.
Now I can listen to each of these plays several times - and will.
It is BBC drama at its very best and provides a lot of listening for the money.
Also, the tracks transfer easily to an MP3 player for portability - no real niggles at all.
Great for the airport - just make sure you don't miss the plane!
Finally, I agree completely with the two fivestar reviews which precede mine.
