Dashiell Hammett Classic Novels Editorial Review
The Maltese Falcon is a classic and definitive entry in the "Noir" or "Hard Boiled" detective genre. The protagonist, Sam Spade, is a famous and iconic detective character. The book starts with a straightforward mystery that quickly takes unexpected turns, pulling in numerous shady characters and plots. The language of the book is simple, gritty, and straightforward, setting and maintaining the tone throughout. The book does not let the readers into Spade's thoughts, forcing them to deduce motivations and thoughts based on actions and interactions. The only downside is that the reader may not want the book to end. Overall, The Maltese Falcon is a must-read classic and worth watching the movie adaptation.
