Title - The Big Sleep (2005)
Author - Raymond Chandler
Runtime - Seven Hours [Unabridged]
Language Variety- North American English
Genre- Hardboiled Crime Fiction
Book Description
The Big Sleep is the first novel to feature the detective Philip Marlowe, and is considered one of Chandler's greatest works, and one of the seminal works of hardboiled fiction. The story is infamously complex and hard to follow, with many characters all double-crossing and triple-crossing each other.
Time magazine included the novel in its TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005.
