Very useful and interesting, Ralph.
So I was right about Killer in the Rain being a short story (as well as the name of the collection I referred to earlier).
I'm slightly surprised that Smart-Alec Kill was so early. It seemed to be much more mature than any of the others I can remember reading. I'm also slightly surprised tha The Lady in the Lake is on the list. I thought that was a full-lengh novel.
I've still got an old copy of Tom Hine's biography of Raymond Chandler. I'll have to read it again to refresh my memory of all this.
