About this listen

Tautly narrated and excruciatingly suspenseful, Double Indemnity gives us an X-ray view of guilt, of duplicity, and of the kind of obsessive, loveless love that devastates everything it touches. First published in 1936, this novel reaffirmed James M. Cain as a virtuoso of the roman noir.©1936 James M. Cain (P)2005 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.

great story

Cain is always good. And this is deservedly a noir classic. Like Postman, excellent and a lot accomplished in a short novel. Many writers could learn from his lean style.

Another Classic

Got a little crazy in the end. Keys is too principled to make that deal.

Love it but kind of drag on. The movie was better

I enjoyed this thoroughly. I watch the movie at least a dozen times. One of my favorite film noir films. I also didn’t mind the different ending. The first time I listened to it I wasn’t really sure if I liked the different ending.

Listened to it twice
