A review by paul_cornelius
Hit and Run by James Hadley Chase

4.0

This is the last of Chase's novels to be published originally under the Raymond Marshall pseudonym. And it's a nice one. Another page turner. From the beginning, you become pretty sure who the mastermind behind the criminality is, but in true Chase fashion, you are so caught up in the proceedings of the plot, that you almost forget it. The shock comes with what happens to people, not with the person behind the scenes. Finally, this is another story set on the American West Coast, with an abstract feel to it, a misty sense of impressions dominating the landscape rather than realistic detail.
