My favorite thing about this book is that it isn't written in a flowery style. Its very straightforward and descriptions don't take longer than needed. The author didn't try to impress anyone with the number of words used. That makes it a tight concise story. The action is great and I never really figured the book out until the end. Its a 4 out of 5.

One of the classics. Sam Spade and his cohorts are almost taken in by a beautiful woman. Book said to be one of the best detective novels written.
