In short, succint and objective (Hammett) versus florid and
subjective (Chandler). These are relative terms and
Chandler's short stories are more Hammettian than
Chandlerian; I am thinking of the novels. Ross Thomas's style
was cold and clear as ice, close to Hammett's in my opinion,
though Thomas was not anybody's imitator.
Best,
