Raymond Chandler wrote the book The Big Sleep, I haven’t read that one but I did read The Maltese Falcon by Dashiel Hammett which is another hard boiled detective novel. It was good!
If you are interested in Sci-fi/dystopia and hardboiled crime, which it seems like you are, then I recommend the book Altered Carbon
You might like The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair, which is a drama/mystery story
I Am Pilgrim is a good espionage kind of book if that intrigues you!
And Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ichigiro is a literary fiction book with a little bit of a twist that I highly recommend to anyone!
Enjoy and let me know what you think
