Publisher Description
The Maltese Falcon is the definitive masterpiece of the hard-boiled detective genre. It introduces legendary PI Sam Spade, a loner who follows his own code and the rules of the street as he zeros in on his partner’s killer and the famous jewel-encrusted bird. Humphrey Bogart immortalized the tough-guy detective in the classic 1941 film.
Customer Reviews
Pretty good, not great
It was not as good as I thought it would be. The ending could have been better executed, as it felt rushed. Overall an entertaining read, though. My expectations might have just been too high.
The narrator was great.
Reader was a bit too much for me
Great book, but this narrator wasn’t for me. The characterizations are over the top, cartoony voices with lots of grunting, sighing, and (worst of all) lip smacking that made it hard to listen to at times.
