I am so enjoying listening to this book. I read it ages ago. There is something in the structure of the language, in the descriptions in the pace that is captivating and enduring. Thank you guys for making his story available to listen to.
A phrase used at 2:53 made me do a little research. Here is what Wikipedia had to say: "Some people mistakenly believe that a corrupted version of "Baumes law" was the origin for the idiom "bum's rush". However, this phrase was in common use before the passage of the Baumes law, and it is derived from the practice of evicting tramps or vagrants from bars and other public places. Dashiell Hammett's 1929 novel The Maltese Falcon has a bit of dialogue referring to "Baumes rush" in reference to a hoodlum who had left New York for San Francisco, the implication being that he had been chased out by the police, so perhaps the "Baumes" variant was back-fit to the existing one given the assonance of the name."
It struck me in the beginning that the way Hammett describes Spade is much more reminiscent of Lee Van Cleef than Bogart. It's a shame Van Cleef never appeared as Sam Spade in anything. His face is a match to the description, while the blond hair and cat-like eyes could have been handled cosmetically and prosthetically (contact lenses of the right color).
Are you referring to when the narrator mentions "Effie Perine's typewriter"? If so, I think the narrator is just referring to the name "Effie," not "F-ing." Unless Hammett chose the name "Effie" as an intentional pun to prompt us to think about Effie in a certain way?
Ophir Falk, the gold of Ophir. Falk the falcon, The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett. So, more ham and Malta. There are alot of Maltese falcon statues, it may be Rome, the SS was based upon the Roman legions supposedly. It may be Assyrian. It's a very old symbol, the golden falcon, the Maltese falcon.

This narrator is very talented and speaks very well, but all of the female characters seem to be at the same pitch. The voice of Brigid O Shaunessy should be lower and more distinguished sounding.

Thanks for uploading this marvelous performance.
Underrated comment
Outstanding performance. Great writing, too. Thanks!
Spade's no simp.
Great book classic noir detective . Excellent narrator.well done
Thanks for this. one of my favorite authors, one of my favorite books, one of my favorite movies, now one of my favorite audiobooks
This narrator’s Peter Lorre voice is only excelled by his Sidney Greenstreet ! And he chose wisely in not attempting Humphrey Bogart.
Every time there's a scene with Sam and Effie in his office, I am reminded of a certain Edward Hopper painting.
This reader is amazing!
Spot on narration! I thoroughly enjoy this from start to finish!
The way the "F-bomb" is dropped at around 2:55 is very creative.
Are you referring to when the narrator mentions "Effie Perine's typewriter"? If so, I think the narrator is just referring to the name "Effie," not "F-ing." Unless Hammett chose the name "Effie" as an intentional pun to prompt us to think about Effie in a certain way?
Why is the name of the narrator not listed? Am I missing it? Extraordinary job.
If you're doing this as a hobby, keep going. Phenomenal job!
My Save Point:
Start: (2:44:31) , Stop: (2:49:30)
EDIT - Start: (6:16:28) , Stop: (6:20:00)
One of my favorite Dashel Hammett's books
Very, very well narrated…
😮 the narrator really got Peter Lorre's voice down pat 👏👏👏
Excellent! classic Detective novel.
Normally I don't like assigned readings, but this was actually really good. Spape is a really interesting character.
Ophir Falk, the gold of Ophir. Falk the falcon, The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett. So, more ham and Malta. There are alot of Maltese falcon statues, it may be Rome, the SS was based upon the Roman legions supposedly. It may be Assyrian. It's a very old symbol, the golden falcon, the Maltese falcon.

Truly an artiste
May I inquire the narrator ?
Not sure, but I think it's William Dufris.
Brilliant - THANK YOU 🙏🏽
Thanks for this!!!!
Welcome, Ian. :)
Wow, that was pretty good.
10/10 narration, 10/10 writing...but MAN, Spade really is kind of a dick, especially compared to Marlow.
Honestly, Tom Polhaus is my favourite character. He just wants to do his job and for Spqde to stop being an ass all the time.
A great reading. I have it bookmarked for my film studies class.
Brilliant reader. Who is it?
i was also trying to find that out!
Great story by a great author
I like how skeptical the cops are of Spade, as he shows absolutely no emotional interest in the fact that his partner was murdered.
Gutman sounds like Pete off of Mickey Mouse😂 this is awesome though!
I think the narrator may be the great Bill Dufris

chapter 6 = 1:33:23
This narrator is very talented and speaks very well, but all of the female characters seem to be at the same pitch. The voice of Brigid O Shaunessy should be lower and more distinguished sounding.
Joel Cairo is hilarious, the voice makes me think of a more comical Peter Lorre.

who is the narrator??
1:50:50
The novel is slow, slow, slow. I'm sticking it out only because the narrator is so skilled that it's a pleasure to hear him do the voices.

Sam Spade really has no redeeming qualities, does he?
Spade is one weird character. Is money his only motivation?
