Gripped me from the first word. Unrelenting thriller. ### ⭐⭐ Two Stars *by B***J on Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2016* Not what I expected ### ⭐ A sad end to a distinguished career *by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2008* James Hadley Chase (René Brabazon Raymond), an Englishman who never visited America, wrote some of the toughest, most compelling hard-boiled crime fiction of the mid-twentieth century (his best-known work was No Orchids for Miss Blandish), all or most of it set in America and comparing favorably, in my opinion, with the better-known James Cain and Jim Thompson. He studied the writings of other hard-boiled mystery writers to master the American idiom, and studied maps to describe American locations plausibly- his books read like books written by an American, not like books written by an Englishman trying to ape American styles. Like many writers of suspense thrillers, however, Chase switched to writing espionage novels in the 1960's to fill the demand for more books that resembled the James Bond movies and the Man From U.N.C.L.E. TV show (but not, sadly, Ian Fleming's James Bond novels). Most of these espionage thrillers do not show the authors at their best, and that's certainly the case with Chase's efforts in the genre. Even worse, he had entirely lost his ear for the modern idiom, even when the idiom was common to both England and America. He insists, for example, that hipsters are a type of trousers rather than a type of bohemian (I think he confused them with hiphuggers), and his hero does not "dig" the things he likes- he "digs for" them. The result is embarrassingly awful, like some elderly person's unsuccessful attempts to speak the language of hip-hop. Collectors of Chase, of which there are deservedly many, are advised to stick this book on the shelf unread. The only things that it has going for it are that Chase still retained the knack for coming up with a snappy title (some of his other titles include Kiss My Fist, Well Now My Pretty, The Dead Stay Dumb, and There's Always a Price Tag) and that it isn't camp. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/154367507-whiff-of-money](https://www.desertcart.id/products/154367507-whiff-of-money) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
