4.0 out of 5 stars Good Hammer Mystery, March 9, 2003

This review is from: The Snake (Paperback)

While not equal with "I, the Jury" or "My Gun is Quick", this book is a step up from "The Girl Hunters", the previous one in the series. Hammer is at his normal tricks, shooting thugs and slugging it out with crooks, trying to protect a young girl from hitmen. This book is Spillane at the top of his game, with or without the unbelievable ending.

This review is from: Snake (Hardcover)

I could not put it down. the Snake has to be the best Mike Hammer mystery thriller that Mr. Spillane wrote. First time I could not figure out who true culprit was.....and when Mike has to be rescued in the end.....you will never guess how that will be done either. I love dthis ending!
