The Thin Man introduces Nick and Nora Charles, New York's coolest crime-solving couple. Nick retired from detecting after his wife inherited a tidy sum, but six years later a pretty blonde spies him at a speakeasy and asks for his help finding her father, an eccentric inventor who was once Nick's client.

Nick can no more resist the case than a morning cocktail or a good fight, and soon he and Nora are caught in a complicated web of confused identities and cold-blooded murder.

Love the Thin Man! Have seen all the movies, & read all the books. I was so looking forward to listening . . . But the narration fell so short of my expectations, listening at all wasn’t a good experience. I only continued because the writing is so good

The detail and the "wanderings" throughout became so much that I lost track of the main story. The narrator was ok for the men, but he needs to work on his female voices. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this book for enjoyable listening.

Not as expected

I enjoyed the characters and the mystery, which kept me guessing right to the end. The narration was excellent, and the different voices - especially Nick's - fit the characters well.

Fun listen and intriguing mystery

I love 💕 everything about detectives and mysteries. Also, the authors who had the minds to come up with the plots, scenes, clues, victims, and the criminals to the crimes.

Superb and Awesome!!!!

Sparse, humorous and timeless story-telling from a master. The charactërs unfold the plot and leave me wanting more, right up to the end.

The Thin Man is straight ahead prose
