About book I'll Bury My Dead (2009)

the longest among a set of six reprinted noir novels by Harlequin from the 1940s, I'll Bury My Dead is really some book i would gladly throw away to the nearest cliff at certain pages and/or thank for all the thrill it has provided as entertainment.i don't know. there were no likeable characters and the case was just too problematic.the protagonist was the type you wouldn't mind seeing killed along the story because he's not very smart and kind of mean.in fairness, however, there were very exciting scenes. the type that will make you read quickly and skip lame descriptions because you'd like to get to the 'safe' and "justice served" scenarios.some action too.still i'd rather reread the whole Lord Of The Rings trilogy anytime.

A crackerjack opening, deceit, doublecross, blackmail, knives and guns, tough guys, deceitful women and danger around every corner.If there are writers who churn out page turners, please note that Chase turns out paragraph turners, sentence turners and word turners.Not a single boring or out of place sentence, no unncessary background info, just machinegun action from fist to last page...that my friends is James Hadley Chase for you, the master, the guru of the thriller, action packed genre.If I was a producer/director I would have made each work of Mr Chase into a movie !!!!

Do You like book I'll Bury My Dead (2009)?

James Hadley Chase's writing is often criticized as being stilted or clunky or whatnot because he was British, living in Britain, and trying to write American noir with a book of US slang at his elbow. Just for the record, he does a *much* better job of writing "American" than most American writers do at writing "British." I've read books where you'd physically wince at the non-Britishness. Consequently I really don't notice his writing. For me, it doesn't get in the way of the story. So if you're sitting on the fence, I say give the book a try.
