A review by tfitoby
The Twisted Thing by Mickey Spillane
2.0
Not Spillane or Hammer at their best, verges on mediocre at times.
Read on the coach from Paris to London.
A Mike Hammer whodunnit that is a little too obvious in regards to who the villains are and quite misogynistic verging on the incredibly offensive at times towards lesbian women (not real women, more like half men!) that is only saved by Mike Hammer being a fun character with a background of great cases.
Whether this one suffered from being read so soon after finishing [b:The Interlopers|1602854|The Interlopers (Matt Helm, #12)|Donald Hamilton|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1263263975s/1602854.jpg|1596130] is debatable but at about the half way point i just wanted it to be over so i could pass the remaining journey bored by not having a book rather than by having to read this.
