Rezension zu „The Return of the Thin Man “
'Hammett was the ace performer. He did over and over again what only the best ever do at all' Raymond Chandler. 'The Return of The Thin Man is a must for enthusiasts, with plenty of his trademark snappy dialogue as well as fascinating commentary by Hammett's granddaughter Julie M Rivett and biographer Richard Layman' Guardian. 'A welcome addition to the bibliography of Raymond Chandler's only equal' Independent. 'These two novellas by Hammett are newly discovered sequels to the classic - rough around the edges, but authentic diamonds nonetheless' Saga. 'Hammett's ability to convey so much in so few words makes these tales as fresh to read now as the day they were penned' Big Issue.
