"Is Sam Spade gonna have-ta choke a dame?"
And so, to continue yet another blog on this marvelous and mysterious plot, Spade decides to go Ms. Wonderly's apartment or hotel place or whatever since... ya know... he can do that... cause he can do whatever he wants cause, ya know, he's Sam freaking Spade!!! Anyhoo, Spade starts to question Mrs. Wonderly, asking her if she would know you killed his partner, Archer, and that Thursby character. Well, we (I'll assume the reader) discover that Ms. Wonderly name real name isn't Ms. Wonderly or LeBlanc neither (She registered at the hotel as LeBlanc...), but in fact is Brigid O'Shaunnessey and she doesn't have a little sister and that Thursby guy wasn't her "fiancee". Of course, Spade didn't believe "Ms. Wonderly's" story in the first place because of how she "paid" higher than the required fee. Spade asks what O'Shaunessey why she would make up such a lie. Well, she says, that she was paid by a English man and they are looking for this "rare" bird called the "Maltese Falcon", which is worth ALOT ($$Ca-ching, ca-ching$$) So, now, both Spade and O'Shaunnessey will solve this "crime" once and or all (Of course... Spade can't "resist" her Irish wiles)!!!

Yeah, Sam Spade is all sorts of awesome. But is the book different from the movie? I mean I've seen the movie well over 10 times. (Not at once, mind you.) And is Sam Spade as anti-heroic as I think/heard? (funny jokes by the way.)
