About this listen

This collection consists of nine crime novellas which were originally published in magazine form in 1924. The plots of Hammett’s stories were drawn from his actual experience as a Pinkerton detective. Hammett viewed the process of detective work not as the pursuit of a few elusive clues, but rather the tedious business of extracting relevant evidence from an overabundance of information.

Good stories that would have been better with another narrator.

Loved the stories and details about 1920’s California. Narrator would have been good for a SueGrafton/Kinsey Milhone book but she has only one voice and sounded the same whomever she was speaking for. Not sure why she was chosen.
