The postman always rings twice - James M. Cain

Postman

pages: 116   published: 2010

This is a classic. The title has always rung a bell but I actually had no idea what the story was about.

Frank is a drifter. After stopping for lunch in a road-side diner in California, he accepts to stay to work for the owner. It is a turning point in his life. Lust, love, murder, betrayal will follow. I can't really say much more without giving too much away. Don't look for an explanation in the title, there is no postman in the story.

A short book, but well written and a good plotline, with intrigue and unexpected twists.
