The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett
This was a quick and easy read. Hammett relies more on dialog than description, making for an enjoyable perusal.
An eccentric inventor has disappeared and his secretary is found murdered leading to some conclusions being made, incorrectly, of course. Who other than Mr. and Mrs. Charles can help solve the mystery!
It’s a wonder Nick Charles can solve anything since he begins his drinking with his breakfast and continues imbibing throughout the day. Being wealthy and married to a witty beauty doesn’t seem to hurt him a bit.
Nora Charles can banter with the best and seems to be the most patient person in New York. Perhaps joining her husband for cocktails helps her demeanor.
The ex-wife of the missing Mr. Wynant, Mimi is a horrible woman. She beats her daughter, lies to everybody and carries on as if she were the only person in the world.
Not surprisingly, Mimi’s daughter Dorothy is another self-absorbed woman, but then again, at only 20 years old, she gets a little more leeway.
Meeting Mr. Hammett would involve a lot of drinking! I’m sure he’d have gads of tale to tell and I’d relish them all.
My rating for The Thin Man is an 8 out of 10.
