anitamarie 's review for:

The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett
3.0

There's a lot of side characters but it's all about Sam Spade, detective. 1939. One needs to keep that year in mind when reading the book. The women are either clingy, weak, clueless, or treacherous....but then so are some of the men. LOL . Just read this while envisioning Bogart as Spade and you'll enjoy it.
