Title: The best of Hammett in one neat bundle...
Review: Hammett is a master of fast-paced narrative and snappy dialogue. He wastes neither his own time nor that of the reader's with unnecessary characterization or flowery descriptions. The intensity of his writing is most evident in "Red Harvest" with its numerous characters and non-stop action. The clever story builds, along with the levels of suspense and violence, to depict a savage world in the heartland of America. Far better than the jovial "The Thin Man" or the lingering "Maltese Falcon," "Red Harvest" showcases all that Hammett did best.
