My expectations of The Maltese Falcon were too high. I love a good hard boiled crime story with a stereotypical detective and a bad girl. Brigid OShaughnessy you are a very bad girl. This was a good detective story and the writing was great, but ultimately I felt deflated. I haven't seen the movie so maybe I'll check it out.The Maltese Falcon, Dashiell HammettThe Maltese Falcon is a 1930 detective novel by American writer Dashiell Hammett, originally serialized in the magazine Black Mask beginning with the September 1929 issue. Sam Spade is a private detective in San Francisco, in partnership with Miles Archer. The beautiful "Miss Wonderly" hires them to follow Floyd Thursby, who has run off with her sister.

Sam Spade doesnt need to go looking for trouble, trouble finds him. I found an interesting hardbound version of this novel at the used bookstore and I couldnt resist it.

Everything seemed separated for the first sixty pages, with no connection whatsoever. But the story was full of suspense and unfolded with many surprises after that.

Its a good read and keeps you guessing till the last.Highly recommend!

Welcome to Spade and Archer detective agency. One day a gorgeous woman came in asking to help tracking her sister who ran away with a bad guy. The down payment was good, so the detectives took the case, no questions asked. As the direct result one of the detectives - Sam Spade - got to experience all of the traditional noir fun while readers follow ever-twisting plot. I said it countless times before and I will say it again: Sam Spade is the grandfather of all PIs in all noir, in particular all
