I didn't even know about this book until the recent
discussion. I just read it yesterday & today.
It's a quick, easy read, not a bad book. The plot, but not
the prose, was Chandleresque, including how Marlowe did get
knocked out, as I recall he did in every Chandler novel.
However, I really didn't understand the point of the direct
quotes from the Big Sleep mixed in the novel and pointedly
all in italics. All they seemed to do is show that Robert
Parker isn't Raymond Chandler.
