The Return of the Thin Man Reviews

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 *
