Tom attmpts to dodge the eggs falling in his head. The secret entrance leads in a chandlier light, he drops multiple eggs on Tom's head with Tuffy helping by giving eggs to Jerry. Clever as he is, Jerry does not fall for this, he climbs up a thumbtack ladder, he brings Tuffy along, with the little mouse with eggs. Tom leaves pieces of cheese to attract Jerry or Tuffy, after he done and he waits for them to come out.
Tom peeks in their mousehole, Jerry and Tuffy fling a tomato into the peeping Tom. Jerry returns to Tuffy with eggs, they both do a toast with their glasses. Tom collides into the hole awhile chasing him there. He then slides down on celery, and rolling down back to his mousehole along with the eggs. He panics throwing the eggs on the air in the process, he ends up juggling them. Mina, who is a considerably more efficient plotter than Chandler, remains true to his tone and to Marlowe’s character, while cleaning up his attitude to render him more palatable to modern readers: highly recommended.Jerry is getting food from the refrigerator, after he does so finding three eggs he grabbed by the tail by Tom. Matters are complicated by the fact that Riordan, now a professional rival, is also on the case, and because the next time Marlowe sees Chrissie she is standing over a corpse in a Skid Row hotel room. The monstrous patriarch isn’t too bothered about being reunited with his daughter – she’s given him a legitimate grandson, so succession is assured – and Marlowe, who finds the young woman quickly, isn’t keen to return her. Here, Marlowe is tasked with tracking down Chrissie, only child of stratospherically rich sadist Chadwick Montgomery. The Second Murderer by Denise Mina (Harvill Secker, £18.99) Raymond Chandler’s Los Angeles PI Philip Marlowe is reimagined by Mina in a novel that also includes Anne Riordan, who aficionados will remember from Chandler’s 1940 novel Farewell, My Lovely, the working title of which was the same as this book.
