⭐ “But a Short Time to Live” is an odd 1951 pulp tale by James Hadley Chase. It’s the ballad of Harry and Claire Ricks, a doomed and mismatched pair if there ever was one. It’s all set in dreary economically-deprived postwar London and there’s a sense even from the start that no good was ever really come to Harry and Claire.Harry is that wide-eyed innocent who only wants to do the right thing. Harry is working a gimmick as a photographer snapping candies on the street and handing out his card, hoping that the subjects of his involuntary modeling will want the photos the Next day. He doesn’t have much and not much to look forward to anyway. Claire is a stunning woman, but a streetwise tart, dedicated to purveying her talents as London’s best pickpocket under the tutelage of a hard case who acts like her pimp. Where Harry is soft and malleable, Claire is tough and unbendable. Where it’s her looks that get to him, it’s Harry’s innate goodness that appeals to Claire as being so utterly decent she’s never met anyone like him.Their pairing is a Greek tragedy in the worst way and their downfall utterly predictable from the start. Even Claire tries to warn Harry off, telling him she’s just no good, none at all. But he’s hopelessly committed and descending step by step into the inferno.

⭐ It was an alright story, not a thriller etc…I read better novels from this author earlier like hit and run.

⭐ Breath taking.

⭐ Great
