I can't dispute anything you say about Maltese Falcon,
although I don't remember plot being as imporant as character
in that novel. I'm sorry to say that the casual racism and
misogyny of that time period taint the work for me, so that I
can't read it again, but that's another issue. I do think
Agatha Christie is the most overrated author in history and
her cheating and lack of characterization are stunning.
