01
The Long Goodbye
Why this pick
Like Gumshoe, it filters private-eye mythology through a wryly offbeat modern world, pairing a shambling investigator with dry humour, melancholy, and steadily mounting unease.

02
The Late Show
Why this pick
A bruised, funny detective story with an aging gumshoe, sharp character interplay, and a lived-in Los Angeles atmosphere that makes its mystery feel secondary to its people.
03
The Big Fix
Why this pick
Its reluctant ex-radical detective brings the same playful, slightly ramshackle energy to noir conventions, mixing comic observation with a conspiracy that gradually gains weight.
04
Hickey & Boggs
Why this pick
For Gumshoe’s affection for shabby private-eye lives: this is a dourer but mordantly funny portrait of two worn-down investigators stumbling through an unglamorous case.
05
Night Moves
Why this pick
A more sombre companion, retaining the era’s disenchanted detective mood, flawed protagonist, and patient investigation that turns ordinary leads into unsettling uncertainty.
