Friends EventEnjoy a relaxed afternoon talking about books with guest
speaker and group discussion. This month’s book is, _The Thin Man_
(1934) by Dashiell Hammett. The last novel from the unsurpassed master
of American detective fiction, _The Thin Man_ is a genre-defining
mystery novel. Dashiell Hammett was credited with inventing the
hardboiled crime novel, and this story of murder and mayhem in
Manhattan, with its breakneck plot, snappy dialogue - and the
hard-drinking, wisecracking couple Nick and Nora - is one of his most
thrillingly enjoyable mysteries.
Join the conversation with special guest and crime fiction authority,
Dr Rachel Franks. Includes refreshments and reading notes. Bookings
Essential (limited places available).
