Happy midweek to you, and happy 126th birthday to detective novelist Raymond Chandler!!

Chandler’s iconic private dick Philip Marlowe was his main character in nine novels – beginning with “The Big Sleep” – and five short stories between 1934 and 1959, as well as ten film adaptations – including 1946’s The Big Sleep, starring newlyweds Humphrey Bogart + Lauren Bacall – between 1942 and 1978.

the way he writes will always pay off.”
