The Lady in the Lake (Raymond Chandler), Rogue Male (Geoffrey Household), Psycho (Robert Bloch), The Hound of the Baskervilles (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), and Doctor No (Ian Fleming).

The city feels like a character itself, full of shadows and secrets. I'm curious how Chandler's own experiences shaped this vivid setting.

The protagonist's flawed nature adds so much depth, but it also made me question whether justice is truly achievable in this world.

The storytelling feels so personal and immersive—wondering if this point of view was a conscious choice to enhance the noir atmosphere.
