I fancy some Chandler, but have read them all. What else might I like, please?

Thanks. :)

Have you tried Dashiell Hammett?

Only, 'The Maltese Falcon' which I didn't think was a patch on Chandler. Would you recommend any specific ones?

Thank you.

DH has read all Chandler books and recommends the author Ross MacDonald - his Lew Archer series are very good apparently Ross Macdonald

Sorry no - is only that the two are paired in my mind as I was asked for the 2 together as a birthday present.

I really like Robert B. Parker -- particularly the Spenser books but also Jesse Stone.
