Nick and Nora Charles are Hammett's most enchanting creations, a rich, glamorous couple who solve homicides in between wisecracks and martinis. At once knowing and unabashedly romantic, The Thin Man is a murder mystery that doubles as a sophisticated comedy of manners.
Quotes
From Wikiquote"Tall-over six feet-and one of the thinnest men I’ve ever seen. He must be about fifty now and his hair was almost white when I knew him.Usually needs a haircut, ragged brindle mustache, bites his fingernails." I pushed the dog away to reach for my drink.
"You got types?" "Only you, darling-lanky brunettes with wicked jaws."
"A lot of fancier yarns come from people trying to tell the truth. It’s not easy once you’re out of the habit."
"How do you feel?" "Terrible. I must have gone to bed sober."
