Commentary To Books No Orchids for Miss Blandish (Blandish's Orchids and Dave Fenner #1)

Miss Blandish - innocent, exquisite, vulnerable heiress - is kidnapped by a gang of ruthless hoods who've never tried big-time crime. Foiled by their own vicious ineptitude and the greed of a superior mob, the kidnappers lose their million dollar prize. Blandish, terrified and broken, is now the captive of Ma' Grisson and her sadistic, sexually deviant son Slim.

When Dave Fenner was hired to solve the Blandish kidnapping, he knew the odds of finding the girl were against him - the cops were still looking for her three months after the ransom had been paid. And the kidnappers, Riley and his gang, had disappeared in to thin air. But what none of them knew was that Riley himself had been wiped out by a rival gang - and the heiress was now in the hands of Ma Grisson and her son Slim, a vicious killer who couldn't stay away from women...especially his beautiful new captive. By the time Fenner began to close in on them, some terrible things had happened to Miss Blandish...

Assessment Epithetical Books No Orchids for Miss Blandish (Blandish's Orchids and Dave Fenner #1)
No Orchids For Miss Blandish: James Hadley Chase's First Novel "I'm ashamed of myself. I'm a person without any background, any character or any faith. Some people could cope with this because they believe in God. I haven't believed in anything except having a good time. She clenched and unclenched her fists, then she looked up; her fixed smile made Fenner feel bad." Miss Blandish to Dave Fenner I'm quite sure that my rating might have been a bit higher had I actually been reading No Orchids

It's probably the best book by James Hadley Chase. A very well written book; unputdownable, and one of the best crime thriller novels of all time. Villain is unforgettable, and so does Miss Blandish. Its one of the Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century.

I don't think I actually 'read' this. It was a DNF. I am astounded at how many people like this book. My guess is they have never read anything like it.But as George Orwell explains, James Hadley Chase wrote crime novels set in America for Brits who had been accustomed to buying remaindered pulps which had been used as ballast in cargo ships, and sold, damaged, for 3 p. on British newsstands. When the supply of these dried up (Orwell says something more useful, like gravel, was probably

A long time since I am planning to read the books by authors from The Golden Age of Detective Fiction, but till now I have succeeded in reading only two books so far, including this one. And this book was sleeping in my bookshelf for a long time when I finished reading Kafka on the shore coincidently this crossed my sight and then started reading.After have lots of philosophical insights and phenomenological thoughts from Kafka on the shore this book really gave breakNo Orchids For Miss Blandish

First, a word to the wise about which edition of No Orchids for Miss Blandish to read: You want the original 1939 version of the book, not the rewritten, updated version of 1962. The quickest way to be certain that you have the 1939 text is to check the second paragraph and confirm that Old Sam [is] asleep in the Packard. (In 1962, the car becomes a Lincoln.) But in either version, No Orchids for Miss Blandish is perhaps more interesting than it is good. It is the first (and most popular)

I normally buy second-hand books even if they are included in the 501 Must Read Books. However, Thomas C. Foster mentioned that the plot of this 1939 noir in his book How to Read Novels Like a Professor: A Jaunty Exploration of the World's Favorite Literary Form (3 stars) is an excellent example of a well-written plot so I ordered this from Book Depository. My 2013 edition is pristine and seems like a print-on-demand. I particularly enjoyed reading this because of the sexy lady on the cover

The total lack of mystery (we always know exactly whos done what to who, why that guy got knocked off, what this cop is thinking) doesnt matter.The casual sexism (One of the important facts of life that Paula had learned the hard way was not to keep any man waiting. ) (and if youre a female in this novel youre going to get your bottom patted) doesnt matter.The cardboard characters (There was Eddie Schultz, one time bodyguard of Murder Incorporate.
