Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Only to Sleep

Wonderful book...read it as soon as I received it. Have read everything the late Raymond Chandler wrote, both all the books and his short stories...read the two Parker books and The Black Eyed Blonde. This book really brings back the proper mood and style of Chandler`s books with an older Marlowe. Not the lady chasing fellow anymore, but still smart and a wee bit dangerous in his new L. A.: Mexico. Any Chandler fan should immensely enjoy it!

I have purchased this series ever since it started coming out back in 1997. Year after year... It never fails to be a fun read. A cup of hot chocolate or a glass of red wine by the fireplace in the evening, while reading a story or two with a contented smile on my face, and I`m ready for a restful sleep!

The Black-Eyed Blonde

Raymond Chandler is ALIVE and well...This book needs to be made into a movie with Robert Mitchum playing the lead thru technology. Do read The Long Goodbye, first by Ray. If you love NOIR, read this book...it`s like (almost) winning the lottery!

If well written, Noir short stories are FUN reading for you, these are terrific entertainment. This is the best collection I have ever read and I`ve been reading collections for over fifty years.
