Fiquei agradavelmente surpreendida com este livro, apesar de achar que não é nada de extraordinário. No entanto, dos restantes livros desta coleção que já tinha lido, este foi, possivelmente, aquele que não só li mais rápido como me entusiasmou mais.É uma história simples, sem grandes confusões d...
'Ace' is the first Chase novel I've read (probably re-read) after many years. I read most of the author's works during my teens. I expected to find the book underwhelming and amateurish, reading it as an adult now. I'm happy to say that even after all these years Chase definitely gets the job don...

HIs mouth opened. There was a long hiss of expelled breath as he stood there. Tears sprang from his eyes. Slim...
JHC is almost like a genre in his own right. Although the covers invariably include a scantily clad woman holding a revolver, the books are actually amazingly well written. He has a style that is incredibly gripping. Had he been around today I think he would have been in the same league as James ...

This has probably got to be the best James Hadley Chase book I've ever read. Particularly as the title was so apt to the content of the book.I first read this when I was in my ninth grade, during the year 2002. Those were the times for thrillers and fast paced books. Back then we used to have a c...
I guess I should feel ashamed of myself for liking The Dead Stay Dumb. I was in the mood for something light and hard-hitting, and James Hadley Chase was a good bet. Many years ago, I had read No Orchids for Miss Blandish, the novel that made Chase's reputation. At times, The Dead Stay Dumb resem...
This is a typical Chase theme with lots of planning , impersonation and double cross with greed and murder thrown in. The ending is a little predictable as Chase believed in good over evil type climaxes. The titles are the main attractions is Chase books..This and "the paw in the bottle", "try th...

This one was yet again a trademark JHC stuff…once you start it, only thing you want to do is to arrive at the last page. And again as usual (in most of JHC’s) the protagonist is anti-hero. There are several other characters…but the most of the plot is dedicated for the lead.The story is of a ban...

Although the plot is rather typical of those times, with jewels stolen from some Raja in India, I suppose it was ok for the time it was written - way back in 1952 !What James Hadley Chase is skilled in, is in the intricate story he weaves around this cliched plot, using his superlative skill in t...
