Dashiell Hammett, 1929

Date read: 9/7/25


I enjoyed this much more than I imagined I would! Dark, brooding, hard-nosed detective novels have never been my thing (The Big Sleep being the first I ever read in the genre). It was hoaky and melodramatic, and Sam is just terrible to women, but the novel was a lot of fun. Especially, trying to figure out who did what to whom. Loved it!
