"Hardcore" detective story


(5 stars)

Now this is a properly grimy, lurid detective story! I'd say more but everything else I can think of is a spoiler in some way.

Den Of Bad Things


(5 stars)

The house where all this weird goings on was quite a stretch. It shows DH was willing to write what & how society could sink And always with his artistic flair of creating real drama.


(5 stars)

Couldn't be better. I've paid for other Dashiell Hammett stories on Audible but this narrator is better, handles the material perfectly. I highly recommend his other Hammett readings here on LibriVox.

wonderful
