Flesh of the Orchid by James Hadley Chase (Epub)

Description

James Hadley Chase (René Brabazon Raymond) was born in London in 1906 and started his career as a bookseller. With the aid of a dictionary of American slang and reference books on the American underworld he wrote his first novel, NO ORCHIDS FOR MISS BLANDISH, over six weekends. The book achieved remarkable popularity and became one of the best-sold books of the decade. FLESH OF THE ORCHID is a wild, thrill-ride of a sequel to NO ORCHIDS. Taking up the story 22 years later, the central figure is once again a Blandish girl, but Carol Blandish is not the helpless victim that her mother was. Indeed, she is a volatile blend of simmering sexuality, strained innocence and hair-trigger cruelty. Her explosive outbursts of savage violence make her a force to be reckoned with. Escaping from a mental institute during a raging storm, and definitely off her meds, Carol Blandish is soon pursued by a seedy cast of characters who all want a piece of the Blandish fortune. The novel bristles with crazy plot twists, edge-of-the-seat suspense and intriguing low-life’s who mix it up for an immensely enjoyable read.

⭐ It was beautiful and brilliantly written. Great suspense that will hold you captive from the beginning to the end. Excellent

⭐ Carol Blandish is a violent maniac locked up in a sanitarium, screaming for endless hours. She is also the heir to her grandfather’s $6 million dollar fortune, has brilliant red hair, and a traffic-stopping figure. What happens when she breaks out of the sanitarium? What man could resist giving her a ride? What happens when her path crosses that of a man on the run from the Mob’s two deadliest contract killers, the Sullivan brothers? And what about the fact that half the County wants to capture her and take control of her money?This is a terrific thriller by James Hadley Chase that is a crime story, a love story, a tale of brotherly togetherness, and filled with retired circus performers, fortune hunters, and the like. It is solidly written and just filled with action and fights and gun battles. Great fun to read.

⭐ Product was good

⭐ Typical Hardly Chase style. Fast pace, intriguing and full of suspense. Master of the art of deception. An excellent read.

⭐ Großartiger Stoff für einen aufregenden und unterhaltsamen Thriller: Die Millionenerbin, die von ihrer raffgierigen Verwandtschaft in einer “Heilanstalt” untergebracht wird und auf ihrer Flucht von einem Mann aufgelesen wird, der von zwei Killern verfolgt wird…..es ist auch in der Tat eine packende Geschichte – oder könnte es sein, wenn Mr. Chase auch nur für fünf Cent schriftstellerisches Talent hätte.Chase war Engländer und offensichtlich sehr fasziniert von der “Unterwelt” der USA, ohne jemals auch nur einen Fuß in diese Welt gesetzt zu haben. Ersatzweise besorgte er sich ein Slang – Wörterbuch, um die Dialoge “realistisch” hinzubekommen. Tja, und so klingt es dann häufig auch. Man hört förmlich, die Seiten raschelt, wenn Mr. Chase nach einem Begriff oder einer Redewendungsucht. Hinzu kommt, daß der Autor so ungefähr das Sprachgefühl einer Wanderschnecke hat. Klischeehafte Charaktere, Bösewichte von der Stange, stereotype Beschreibungen von Orten und Stimmungen machen das Fiasko komplett.”Hey, take it easy,” Roy said , grinning, his eyes still on the Girl.”Why should you have all the fun? I’ll give you a Hand. this is right up my alley.”Steve advanced on his brother, his eyes furious.”Get out,” he said, “and keep out.”Roy hesitated, then shrugged.”0.K.,” he said, and laughed. You can have her until she’s well, then I’ll take over. I’ve got a way with women. She won’t claw my eyes out. I know how to tame a wildcat like her.”Chandler ist da mindestens vier Klassen besser. Wenn Sie überzeugend klingende “Gangster” – Dialoge lesen wollen, empfehle ich Elmore Leonard, Jim Thompson und Don Winslow, um nur einige zu nennen.Eine gute Nachricht gibt es aber: Die Geschichte ist unter dem Titel “Das Fleisch der Orchidee” grandios verfilmt – ein düsterer, bizarrer Albtraum, mit u. a. Charlotte Rampling hervorragend besetzt.Miserable Vorlage, grandiose Umsetzung. Sehen Sie sich den Film an, das Buch taugt nichts.Einen Punkt für die Story, einen für das coole “Pulp” – cover.

⭐ Good nice storyline. I think this story also was made into a movie. Good.

⭐ this is from an indian publisher; there are grammatical errors from the original

⭐ Everything good

⭐ Excellent work!

⭐ I read this story a very long time ago, as a follow up to No Orchids for Miss Blandish, and was spellbound from start to finish. Terrific read, can’t put it down !!!
