J. Scott Smart stars as "The Fat Man", Brad Runyon, the stout-but-stalwart investigator who was first conceived as an arch villain in Hammett's classic novel The Maltese Falcon. Charismatic and captivating, Runyon has a way with the ladies, in spite of his 237 pounds. Nick Charles, "The Thin Man", was played on radio by William Powell, Les Damon, and Les Tremayne. Cases seem to fall in to Nick's lap...often dropped there by his wife, Nora (played by Myrna Loy and Claudia Morgan).

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

It seems like the perfect job. Great wages, accommodation provided and all located within the walls of Highwood Hall, a stunning stately home owned by the Howard family. Not many little girls dream of becoming a maid, but this is an opportunity for me to get back on my feet. And for me to revisit my past....

I still love the thin man!
Would you consider the audio edition of Audio Archive Presents Dashiell Hammett's 'The Thin Man' to be better than the print version?
I enjoy the casting of the thin man movies and love that they kept William Powell and Myrna Loy. It's their chemistry and banter than make this fun.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Audio Archive Presents Dashiell Hammett's 'The Thin Man'?
I love all the suspects invited to dinner in order to expose the murderer. In some ways the story is pretty innocent compared with mysteries now, and yet the basic formula stays the same.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The smartness of Powell and Loy.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. An old radio broadcast all in about one hour

Doesn't get any better
A Dashiell Hammet mystery, Nick and Nora Charles played superbly by William Powell and Myna Loy and audiobooks. What a combo

The thin man
The sound quality was horrible.
Nick and Nora voices were tinny. Past that the memories made me laugh.

Great radio presentation.
I liked the fact that it was a full-cast performance (music, too), and that the veteran actors from the movies, who did a great job. There were also very few announcements, so it was more immersive, like a reading. There is a lot of background information before and after the performance, which the listener may or may not enjoy.

A Timeless Classic
Would you listen to Audio Archive Presents Dashiell Hammett's 'The Thin Man' again? Why?
No, too hard to hear without plugging into a stereo to boost volume.
What other book might you compare Audio Archive Presents Dashiell Hammett's 'The Thin Man' to and why?
no
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Yes. But why is the introductory background narration so loud and clear while the actual story is so poor in volume level?
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes, when Nick rounds them all up for a dinner which reveals the murderer.
Any additional comments?
The volume on these audible books is pathetic on my Kindle! Without an ear piece, it can barely be heard.

Could have cleaned up the background noise a bit
Radio play was good but they could have filtered out some of the hiss and crackle from the background in the modern recording.

Classic Radio Drama
I grew up on the Thin Man movies. Watching them with my grandpa was a highlight of childhood. It was interesting to experience a different version of the story, with the same actors voicing the main characters. Definitely a fun listen!

Powell and Loy
Not quite as funny as the movie, but entertaining just the same.
Good listen for a drive.
