WORTH CONSUMING!
What an incredible novel. For me it read like a superior Red Harvest: better flow with the plot development, the characterizations, the fleshing out of relationships and that powerful finish. I passed on Halloween parties to stay in and finish it and there are no regrets. Hammett’s novels, besides being great, are so different from what I usually read that it that makes them all the more intriguing.
