Description

He Knew He Was Right describes the failure of a marriage caused by the unreasonable jealousy of a husband exacerbated by the stubbornness of a willful wife.

User’s Reviews

“This is a hard boiled ride from Chase that never lets up. A news photographer gets caught between rival gangs for the dope business in New York City. Lots of dames, bullets, mugs, booze, crooked cops and fast action.”-Vintage45s Blog “The author has constructed Duffy’s story as a cautionary morality tale about the real value of wealth and the dangers of unrestrained pursuit, but has written it in such a way as to present an exciting and engrossing story of gangsterism, corruption and greed.”-Ralph E. Vaughan, Amazon.com “The Dead Stay Dumb is classic Chase. The beauty of Chase’s work here, and as always, is in his delivery.”-Oji, Amazon.com

Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ Newspaper photographer Duffy loses his job and things start going steadily south from there very quickly. An offer to take a few covert photos for more money than he can ignore sets him on a path him deep into the heart of an urban darkness, where crime lords and political bosses rub shoulders (and try to rub each other out), beauty is nothing but a masque hiding madness and murder, and hoodlums operate on primal hatreds and shifting loyalties.James Hadley Chase (actually, Rene Brabazon Raymond) was an Englishman who wrote as an American, and did so very well, making a huge splash with his first book, “No Orchids for Miss Blandish.” While the present book is not as brilliantly written as that first tome, it is well written, and the plot, which is also a character study of the mercurial and avaricious Duffy, is well laid out from beginning to end. The author has constructed Duffy’s story as a cautionary morality tale about the real value of wealth and the dangers of unrestrained pursuit, but has written it in such a way as to present an exciting and engrossing story of gangsterism, corruption and greed. It is a book that will appeal to fans of James M Cain, and, to a lesser degree, readers of Raymond Chandler and Wade Miller.

⭐ This is one of the first thrillers written by the great James Hadley Chase. I started reading these novels when I was a teenager and am now in my sixties and still enjoy them very much. JHC has a completely unique way of writing that appeals to me. This one is fast, full of surprises and many twists and the ending is totally unexpected and carries a knockout punch.I am so pleased to see that those are becoming available for the Kindle. When I was young many of the titles were unavailable and hopefully Kindle will release all of his books. Naturally some are better than others, and because they were written so long ago the dialog and milieu in which they were set might seem to be dated; nevertheless the reader should bear this in mind and enjoy these thrillers for what they were. No one expects an Agatha Christie mystery to be up to date. This does not detract from the fact that they are of excellent quality and are still being sold all over the world today.James Hadley Chase was not as great a seller as Christie and never made it big in the USA. This is because a lot of his books are set in the USA but do not appear to be authentically Amercian, as he was of British extraction. His books have also been very popular in France.If you have never read him, and are of an open mind, and looking for something quite different in the thriller genre, pick this us today. For the price it is a really great deal. Happy reading!

⭐ Well written, keeps you on the edge throughout. However not one of the best books I’ve ever read. I have read a lot of his books.

⭐ James Hadley Chase at the top of his game.Kept me company all night long 🙂

⭐ I love everything about the product

⭐ One of his poorly written with a feeble plot. Half heartedly written.

⭐ This is full of suspense. I have to say James made me keep guessing what is next. I love this book.

⭐ I like James Hadley Chase books, This one is very good. I plan to read all his books. Especially his old books.

⭐ Unfortunately there is a lot to dislike about this book.Firstly, I loved No Orchids for Miss Blandish, I found it dark, grim and original. This book though, is nothing like Miss Blandish. The plotting is scant (to be kind) with characters who have very limited fleshing out.Secondly, the dialogue is very poor. The author appears to have looked through the cheap pulp detective magazines of the day (1939) and grabbed all the American gangster slang he could find. He uses the slang repeatedly page after page after interminable page. It gets embarrassing.Thirdly, the characters first motivation is to drink alcohol in so many situations. It is as if the author thought Americans were a nation of alcoholics.There are other issues but I won’t go into them.James Hadley Chase wrote well sometimes and scored some big hits but his misses were terrible.

⭐ HE WON’T NEED IT NOW, 1939Bill Duffy is a newsman, a real pro photographer. He lives hard, drinks hard and he’s tough, except where women are concerned. And when he finds himself with ravishingly beautiful woman in her apartment very late one night, it takes all his willpower to resist, willpower, and a very mangled corpse which somehow fell down the elevator shaft. And that was only the beginning…See more at […]
