BOOK REVIEWS

The Big Sleep
It’s easy to stay alert for Chandler’s ‘The Big Sleep’ (1939)
Oxford Inheritance
‘Oxford Inheritance’ (2016) is cozy but too generic
Nightmare Town
‘Nightmare Town’ (1999) an essential cross-section of Hammett’s work
Spellbound by Beauty
‘Spellbound by Beauty’ (2008) goes deeper into Hitchcock’s dark side
The Hunter and Other Stories
‘Hunter and Other Stories’ (2013) cleans out Hammett’s files
Wood Man Who Knew Too Much
Wood’s ‘Man Who Knew Too Much’ (2015) a pleasant analysis
The List
Add ‘The List’ (2023) to your list of contemporary culture dramas
Big Book of the Continental Op
Hardboiled fiction that goes over easy: ‘Big Book of the Continental Op’ (2017)  
Hitch biography
Taylor’s ‘Hitch’ (1978) is cornerstone bio of Hitchcock
Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes
‘Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes’ (1927) a spooky conclusion to Doyle’s canon
