taxonick reviewed Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese falcon by Molly Thomas-Hicks (The big read)
Review of "Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese falcon" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Excellent story, almost the paragon of "hard boiled", but that cosiness of familiarity from knowing the film (I am surprised to find how closely the film followed the book).
I have not read any Hammer before, but based on this I will be seeking out more.
