User’s Reviews
Born Rene Brabazon Raymond in London, the son of a British colonel in the Indian Army, James Hadley Chase was educated at King’s School in Rochester, Kent, and left home at the age of 18. He initially worked in book sales until, inspired by the rise of gangster culture during the Depression and by reading James M. Cain’s The Postman Always Rings Twice, he wrote his first novel, No Orchids for Miss Blandish. Despite the American setting of many of his novels, Chase (like Peter Cheyney, another hugely successful British noir writer) never lived there, writing with the aid of maps and a slang dictionary. He had phenomenal success with the novel, which continued unabated throughout his entire career, spanning 45 years and nearly 90 novels. His work was published in dozens of languages and over thirty titles were adapted for film. He served in the RAF during World War II, where he also edited the RAF Journal. In 1956 he moved to France with his wife and son; they later moved to Switzerland, where Chase lived until his death in 1985. –This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

⭐ This is one hell of a dope. In today’s setting, this story in Hollywood will make a hit at the box office. Thanks to the Master of Art of Deception. Enjoy a read.
⭐ I’m a J.H C. Fan .What else can I say.
⭐ Got to get more of these
⭐ Loved the book JHC is a great writer love all his books
⭐ Bart Anderson, a private eye working for Parnell Detective Agency in Paradise City, shadows the wife of a highly successful and wealthy author and finds more than he bargained for. The book is somewhat slow moving and not up to the normal standards of James Hadley Chase.
⭐ Trama fantasiosa, finale a sorpresa, scritto secondo le convenzioni di genere’ dell’epoca; il lessico risente molto dello ‘slang’ e del linguaggio parlato, e quindi chi conosce l’inglese a livello scolastico deve ricorrere al dizionario e al web.
⭐ I am still at the halfway and i find it quite interesting.
