A detective was asked it to search the woman. But he met some murders when searching her. Where she is? And why those merders caused?
I am bad at reading mysteries because I don't like them very much. But this story is a few fun because the detective who is hero is a good joker. All characters are serious, but sometimes he say nice joke. ( )

It's just suspense story. And it is exciting!
I want my friends to read this novel. And I also want to read it again. ( )

I love the scenes in the mountains in this book and the masterful way Chandler confuses the idendities of the woman who does the murder and the woman who is murdered. ( )

Chandler in good form. The two blondes disappearing on the same day is a bit of a giveaway. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
The Treloar Building was, and is, on Olive Street, near Sixth, on the west side. The sidewalk in front of it had been built of black and white rubber blocks. They were taking them up now to give to the government, and a hatless pale man with a face like a building superintendent was watching the work and looking as if it was breaking his heart.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0394758250, Paperback)

A couple of missing wives—one a rich man's and one a poor man's—become the objects of Marlowe's investigation. One of them may have gotten a Mexican divorce and married a gigolo and the other may be dead. Marlowe's not sure he cares about either one, but he's not paid to care.
