I’m excited to re-read this one! I love the Thin Man movies and when TCM has a marathon I stay to the end. My favorite is the Thin Man Goes Home, because it puts our dear detective outside his comfort zone. But to me the book is a different animal from the movies because of the first person narration, a hard-boiled detective technique that I really like.
This one has always been on my list to read. Perfect way to end noirvember.
Fantastic!

Wonderful! I don't know the movies – I'm looking forward to watching them!
Can’t believe I’ve never seen a pic of Hammett before! Love those covers , especially the UK one. Can’t wait to start the book.
He's quite striking, isn't he? The hair/moustache colour mismatch is a good look!
Very John Cleese!
