As the book opens, Nick sits drinking at a speakeasy in New York a few days before Christmas 1933 when a young lady approaches him. The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett features Nick Charles, a former detective, aged 41, who now lives the high life since his wife, Nora, inherited a fortune. I love the idea of Audible, but my experience with this book and their cavalier attitude and inadequate customer service has completely undermined my confidence in the accuracy and completeness of their recordings. AND YET AUDIBLE CONTINUES TO OFFER THE DEFECTIVE BOOK TO ITS UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMERS! Do I seem angry? Well, I am. AND THEY STILL ARE OFFERING THE DEFECTIVE RECORDING FOR SALE! If you look at other comments, you can see that the defect has existed at least since July, 2011. I reported this to Audible in October, 2012, and they still haven't corrected it. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Who would you have cast as narrator instead of William Dufris? What do you think your next listen will be? Would you try another book from Dashiell Hammett and/or William Dufris? RECORDING IS DEFECTIVE! MISSING SEVEN CHAPTERS!
