I enjoyed the Longmire Series by Craig Johnson and more recently, Dwyer Murphy’s The Stolen Coast and An Honest Living. Who are some other modern Raymond Chandlers that am I missing out on?
Bonus points for occasional laughs. Thank you in advance.
James Ellroy belongs on the list. For the most part, his writing is dryer and straighter than Chandler’s, but he really lets his fun side out at certain points. Will immediately recommend *American Tabloid* – it’s just a delight. Also worth reading the LA Quartet in order if time and motivation allows you.
