Welcome to Litsy!

This is a surprisingly fun read but Tom is an asshole.

I grabbed this #audiobook when it was on sale a couple of weeks ago. It‘s the lost final novel of James M. Cain and I really enjoyed it. I love the noirish vibe. I can‘t really put my finger on why exactly I liked this so much. The narrator was good but not great. I just got very wrapped up in Joan‘s very messy life and was rooting for her all the way. 4⭐️

I've been reading hard-boiled crime novels sort of as research, but also because I think they're interesting. This pulp-y novel was okay, but lacked...something.

#FFP The end of this book is so twisted that I can't even. It is the very blackest of noir and I lurved it! A lot. Fun and saucy and effed up in all the right ways.

This is James M. Cain's last, lost novel. This book rocked so hard! So juicy, so very very noir. This book got passed around by my friends and their friends and then some more. If you're looking for some good, saucy fun, look no further!
