I liked the book. And the good guy (Spade) was not all that good. The police were made out to be bumbling fools. Spade is out for only one person and that's himself. I don't think he cares what happens to anyone else as long as he comes out alright.
The biggest downfall of the book was when Spade didn't really question the girl about her original cover story and just let it slide.
