The Lady in the Lake / Raymond Chandler
“This Raymond Chandler noir is classic Chandler… The BBC Radio 4 full cast dazzles with swift pacing and dramatic interactions enhanced by period music and sound effects. Actor Toby Stephens portrays the weary and cynical Marlowe in a style that bites off chunks of Chandler's iconic hard-boiled dialogue. The author's wry prose and fatalistic commentary never fail to beguile as the dark twists build to a climax.” ~AudioFile (A.W.)
