The Thin Man



The Thin Man
by Dashiell Hammett
read: 2011
Guardian 1000 Novels

My favorite of the three Dashiell Hammett novels I've read.  I loved the banter between Nick and Nora Charles, the protagonists, and I thought the mystery was better-developed than in Red Harvest or The Maltese Falcon.  Definitely a lighter tone, though that belied what was a pretty disturbing mystery.
