James M. Cain
Out of these elements, Cain created a novel (later made into a film noir classic) of acute social observation and devastating emotional violence - and a heroine whose ambitions and sufferings are never less than recognizable.

Critic reviews
"[James M. Cain is] the poet of the hard-boiled school of the American novel." (Washington Post)
"A novel that, once begun, will almost surely be read to the end....it reflects no codes, no restrictions, and none but the primordial necessities. It is a bath in sensation." (New York Times Book Review)

Until that point it’s hard to really like anyone in this book. Then the story comes full circle: you end up liking – or at least hoping the best for – the two characters whose combined failings set things in motion in Chapter One. Don’t expect to hear the classic movie; the book is radically different from (and better than) Hollywood’s reworking of the story, as great as that is. And, though it took a while for Christine Williams’ performance to win me over, in the end it did.
I think this is a happy ending…

The story was very nice and yes, the bratty daughter was horrible. I wanted to slap her and was delighted when Mildred slapped her a good one.
What a great listen.
