Reviews

""The Maltese Falcon is not only probably the best detective story we have ever read, it is an exceedingly well-written novel."" -- ""The Times Literary Supplement (UK)"" ""After reading The Maltese Falcon, I went mooning about in a daze of love such as I had not known for any character in literature since I encountered Sir Launcelot."" -- ""Dorothy Parker, The New Yorker"" ""Hammett's prose is clean and entirely unique. His characters are as sharply and economically defined as any in American fiction."" -- ""The New York Times"" ""Like Wilkie Collins and Arthur Conan Doyle, Hammett was an original who created a profoundly influential literary template that gives him classic status."" -- ""The Guardian"" ""The best detective story America has yet produced."" -- ""Alexander Woolcott, author, actor, journalist, and critic ""
