Summary: For Classic Noir Fans Only?
Comment: Originally written in 1939 (and later revised by the author), this gritty crime novel has got a lot of fine elements in a nicely plotted armed robbery turned murder turned kidnapping. Unfortunately, for me there wasn't enough detail in the motivation of characters to make it at all believable (not that I think believability is always necessary); I'm left with the impression that characterization in this book is rendered by a paragraph which says "Criminal A behaves like this because...." Don't get me wrong, even though I just can't help thinking that every character in this novel is utterly s-t-u-p-i-d, it reads really good and is a great time passer that may serve to inform the reader about what Europeans thought about Americans (Chase (one of his pseudonyms) was an Englishman who learned about America from books). What's most interesting to me is how nobody seems to understand the unfortunate Miss Blandish. No review I have ever read gets her right (certainly none of the others on this page, so don't worry 'bout them givin' nothin' away). Is she the victim of a "fate worse than death"? -- whatever that means today -- or is she the victim of something else? Perhaps the spareness of detail here is what makes this novel work. George Orwell thought it was nothing short of "brilliant." What will you think?

Summary: Argh!
Comment: Folks - when reviewing books, PUHLEEZE! Don't give information like above - about the main character's suicide. Now why bother to read the book? Ugh
