- The first James Hadley Chase' novel I read, "This way for a Shroud", lead me to another and then to another until I read almost all of them. That was a few years back, in Nigeria. Now I'm in Canada. Men! Was I disappointed there was none of his novels to be found in any bookstore. I want to have all his books in my book-shelve. I want to read all of them all over again. You don't get bored even though you read same about 20 times a day. I did that several times. I was again disappointed his books are out of print. What is the matter with everyone? Don't they know he is the KING of thriller writers? I'm always right there on the scene of action when reading his books. That is the feeling you get from the first page to after the last page. Can someone PLEASE tell me how or where to get any/all of his books? This is a desperate cry for help, anyone.
- I have read most of Chase's novels and am equally frustrated to learn that his novels are no longer in print. I wonder why? I sure can find many of his books in your listings except one titled -"Consider Yourself Dead". I hope am not confusing this book with "You have yourself a Deal".With all the spy novels set in a world war scenario,this one slides to "typical spy story" type; the plot hovering around just a few characters.As far as I can recall my memory,an intense rivalry between two factions brings about espionage into the picture.Finally,the plot condenses,yet reinforces,to two characters -the Hero and the Villain.It's a typical Gun fight story that I've ever read. If you want to travel back to your childhod and play with guns,then hunt for this book!
- James Hadley Chase is the king of crime fiction! Believe me. He is my hero when it comes to story-telling. His stories are full of suspenses and thrill. He tells stories that are beyong your wildest imagination. Boy! what an author. I can't understand why his books are no longer printed. are all the publishers blind? James Hadley Chase is number one. You might say what about Christe Agathy and Sidney Sheldon. Well, they cannot even come close to him. Every page in his books is thrilling and fun. man! I wish you read them.
- Anyone who has not read his books has a literary void in their life. I have worn out many a seat edge reading his books. His command of the language, his ability to put you smack in the middle of the action, his humour everything, is outstanding! The President of the US should declare an Executive Order to command his books be put back in print. I own several books, and in my opinion, he's the leader of the pack and not the mongrel sitting on the porch. James Hadley Chase is "The Man!!"
