Review title: Not his best work, or even a mid range work, maybe his worst
Product review: Jim Thompson IS a great writer, he writes vintage crime noir, and most of his tales of the seaminess of man are terrific, but this is not one of them. And it begins terrifically to boot, so one becomes more and more suprised as one reads on, for the book simpily gets worse as one reads. The characters are mostly two dimensional, and the plot loses all coherence quickly. Please, pick up his four star works like The Getaway, The Grifters, and a personal favorite, Now And On Earth, et.all.
