I just finished The Chill and have read numerous other Macdonald novels in the Les archer series. I love them, great murder mysteries.

That being said, I don’t think I’ll ever re read them. Macdonald has some of the same revelations in his books as Chandler, but I’ve read big sleep at least three times and long goodbye maybe four or five. I can’t explain it. Something in chandlers writing goes beyond the details of the plot, and therefore lends to many re-reads.

Wondering if anyone else has this experience? Do you prefer chandler or Macdonald?
