For someone else.

Histoire
A resident of one of LA's toughest neighborhoods uses his blistering intellect to solve the crimes the LAPD ignores. East Long Beach. The LAPD is barely keeping up with the neighborhood's high crime rate. Murders go unsolved, lost children unrecovered. But someone from the neighborhood has taken it upon himself to help solve the cases the police can't or won't touch. They call him IQ. He's a loner and a high school dropout, his unassuming nature disguising a relentless determination and a fierce intelligence.

Miss Marple encounters a compelling murder mystery in the sleepy little village of St. Mary Mead, where under the seemingly peaceful exterior of an English country village lurks intrigue, guilt, deception and death. Colonel Protheroe, local magistrate and overbearing land-owner is the most detested man in the village. Everyone—even in the vicar—wishes he were dead. And very soon he is—shot in the head in the vicar's own study. Faced with a surfeit of suspects, only the inscrutable Miss Marple can unravel the tangled web of clues that will lead to the unmasking of the killer.

Set in the wide-open spaces of the American West, The Power of the Dog is a stunning story of domestic tyranny, brutal masculinity, and thrilling defiance from one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in American literature. The novel tells the story of two brothers—one magnetic but cruel, the other gentle and quiet—and of the mother and son whose arrival on the brothers’ ranch shatters an already tenuous peace.

Description
The iconic first novel from crime fiction master Raymond Chandler, featuring Philip Marlowe, the "quintessential urban private eye" (Los Angeles Times).
A dying millionaire hires private eye Philip Marlowe to handle the blackmailer of one of his two troublesome daughters, and Marlowe finds himself involved with more than extortion. Kidnapping, pornography, seduction, and murder are just a few of the complications he gets caught up in.

Why censor the original text?
Let's start by saying that this is a masterwork in crime fiction and the hardboiled detective fiction. Chandler is unparalleled (in my opinion) with setting up a mood so smoky and jazz filled that you feel as though you are walking beside Marlowe throughout his journey.
But it's the censoring of the text that bothers me.
In Chapter 17 we're given the first taste of the word "fu*k", but the performer continously doesn't actually say the word, for some reason. This is a novel that was written in 1939, and a lot of what is said could be considered problematic in this age of enlightenment, but out of everything they chose not to censor; homophobia, misogynistic views, and racial stereotypes (which the performer actually emulates with a stereotypical "black speech pattern", although he's simply reading the written word I suppose...) that a silly word is what gets censored is beyond me.
Performance is great! Scott Brick does a wonderful Marlowe!
The music in-between chapters was an odd choice, but it really grew on me. It simply just made it easier to keep track of how many chapters I had listened to in a sitting. I've read a few reviews stating that that's what turned people off this performance; these people are nuts. The music certainly doesn't hinder the performance, but adds a level of immersion. The music is fitting for the chapters they follow and just adds more mood to the overall performance.
If you have never read something from the great Raymond Chandler, I highly suggest this entry

Excellent but dark
Noir indeed. And very well done... but arguably somewhat too bitter. A bit more uplift would be nice.
