Goldfish Have No Hiding Place by James Hadley Chase (Epub)

Description

Steve Manson’s magazine dealt in corruption: he attacked the rich, the powerful and the famous – and he made enemies. In a job like that, you couldn’t afford to have dirty secrets of your own. With the whole town itching for you to make a slip, it was like living in a goldfish bowl.

But Steve had lived clean – until his beautiful, extravagant wife was caught shoplifting, and suddenly he was up to his neck in the dirtiest secrets of all – blackmail and murder.

⭐ I wouldn’t say that I “loved it” but I did enjoy reading this story about a successful columnist in debt and married to a woman with expensive spending habits who gets blackmailed. Thing is he runs a magazine that exposes corruption so he can’t afford to have any scandal himself. The story goes on for about 200 pages or less, following one complication after another that naturally came up including murder. I read this book in one sitting. Also, I wasn’t privy to the history of James Hadley Chase and his salacious covers and the portrayal of women being mostly victims in his stories. In this book, the protagonist slaps the heroine for her lack of understanding the urgency of their situation. Other than that, this book was a solid, fast read.

⭐ This is a fast paced thriller from the word go. The prose of Chase is economical,belligerent and without unnecessary embellishments. A vintage CHASE !!!

⭐ Like watching a movie, once you start reading, you just can’t put it down.

⭐ Good but a notch lower than than the chase classics ..

⭐ Read Chase after years! loved it.

⭐ None can touch James Hadley Chase. Others are like specs of dust in front of this giant. But what amazes me more than anything else is that theres not much on his books … Why? I have read all his books and possess quite a few.I could rate all his books five stars but can’t rate more even i wish,because there are only five.I really pity all those who havent read his books. They are like the stepping stones to get addicted to book reading. Three cheers for James Hadley Chase.

⭐ I started reading Chase in 1980 and read all of his books back in Nigeria and i was given the alias Chase! he is simply the best and no other author will hold you spellbound like him. I have a little cutout of him when he died, infact his real name is not JHC, i cannot remember now. Let me recite a passage from his novel “YOU NEVER KNOW WITH WOMEN” just to give you a taste of the guy: (I’ve been around and i’ve known a lot of women in my time, they’ve given me a lot of fun and a lot of grief;now women are funny animals, you never know with them. They do not often know where they are with themselves. It is of no good trying to find out what makes them tick, it just can’t be done.They have more moods than an army of cats have lives and all you can hope for is to spot the mood you are after, when it shows up step in quick, hesitate and you are a dead duck! Women are funny animals you never know with them. Love between a man and a woman is a brittle thing.) Ask me who can describe a woman like that? No other author describes a picture and you the reader thinks the description is right in front of you like this guy. It is a shame that he is out of print. Readers of today are surely missing out. A real shame. I hope someone will call me with some. I do not mind the price.

⭐ I was living in Europe in the 1970’s when I met a local boy who soon became my boyfriend. He had a stack of James Hadley Chase books that he was always reading. I picked one up one day, and couldn’t put it down. Well, I could put it down long enough to pick up the next one. Now, 35 years later, our daughter got a kindle for Christmas from her boyfriend, and it reminded me of what an avid reader her father was. I racked my brain and finally remembered her father’s favorite author’s name – James Hadley Chase! I did a Google search to find his books, and was very surprised at how rare they are. I was hoping to find a hard-back collection, but no luck. If you have not read James Hadley Chase, you have never read a good book. For me, I am going to try to find them on Amazon and get as many as I can find.

⭐ The first James Hadley Chase’ novel I read, “This way for a Shroud”, lead me to another and then to another until I read almost all of them. That was a few years back, in Nigeria. Now I’m in Canada. Men! Was I disappointed there was none of his novels to be found in any bookstore. I want to have all his books in my book-shelve. I want to read all of them all over again. You don’t get bored even though you read same about 20 times a day. I did that several times. I was again disappointed his books are out of print. What is the matter with everyone? Don’t they know he is the KING of thriller writers? I’m always right there on the scene of action when reading his books. That is the feeling you get from the first page to after the last page. Can someone PLEASE tell me how or where to get any/all of his books? This is a desperate cry for help, anyone. Pi.

⭐ My Dear fellow Chase Fans:We all know what a great writer he was, we have read all of his books. Most of us are so disappointed that his books are not widely available in North America.We all need to start a users/readers/group online. So we all can appreciate him together and let others know what they are missing.I read his all of his books back in 80s in Asia. Now I am trying to find them in North America and Can not find all of them.I want to buy all of his books for collection, but no one knows him in North America.My salute to all of Hadely fans, lets get together online and celebrate one of the best crime writer in the history.Thanks, Art. …
