Nick and Nora Charles are Hammett's most enchanting creations, a rich, glamorous couple who solve homicides in between wisecracks and martinis. At once knowing and unabashedly romantic, The Thin Man is a murder mystery that doubles as a sophisticated comedy of manners.

Hardly recognisable as the work of the man who wrote The Maltese Falcon and Red Harvest. Deftly executed,light-hearted, slightly self-mocking, but always entertaining. A feat of frightening versatility from the master of the hard-boiled.
