About this listen
The Killer Inside Me has been a cult classic since its first publication in 1952. Also a major motion picture starring Casey Affleck, directed by Michael Winterbottom.
Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford is a pillar of the community in his small Texas town, patient and thoughtful. Some people think he's a little slow and boring, but that's the worst they say about him. But then nobody knows about what Lou calls his "sickness". It nearly got him put away when he was younger, but his adopted brother took the rap for that. Now the sickness that has been lying dormant for a while is about to surface again - and the consequences are brutal and devastating.
Tense and suspenseful, The Killer Inside Me is a brilliantly sustained noir crime masterpiece.
©1952 Jim Thompson (P)2015 Orion Publishing GroupCritic Reviews
"Probably the most chilling and believable first-person story of a criminally warped mind I have ever encountered." (Stanley Kubrick)
"Thompson captured the spirit of his Age, and the spirit of the 20th Century's latter half: emptiness, a feeling of loss in a land of plenty, of unease amid conformity, of alienation." (Stephen King)

I dont know what I expected
I read this book because a Youtuber recommended it, as one of the most thrilling books of all time. It was interesting. It didnt have me falling out of my seat, but eye opening.

Elegant, dark, thick with the times
An icon of the genre. Classic detective fiction. Sometimes a little confusing. Would certainly recommend.
