( ) Enjoyable but extremely slight (76 pp.) late novel by Dashiell Hammett has his trademark style and hardboiled attitude, but this is really a novella, if that. More like a long short story. It revolves around a kept woman escaping from her tormentor and the tough ex-con who tries to rescue her. It's always good to read Hammett, but this is decidedly a lesser work on many scores. I picked it up because it was (Virginia) slim. The writing style is not what I am used to, and this was my first encounter with this author, so I was unprepared. Although many references were about a half century older than me, I was able to settle into the dialogue and setting, but the pace confused me a bit. To me, this read like a screenplay. Scenes cut and panned in ways that implied fervent actions, blunted emotion and shocking reveals. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
