The Killer Inside Me by Jim Thompson

4.0

My biggest regret after finishing The Killer Inside Me is that I had not heard of Jim Thompson earlier. Now I want to read all of his books and see the movies based on them (can’t wait to check out the two different film versions of this). I know it’s cliche to call something “gritty” or “dark”, but I’m not sure any other adjectives would describe this novel. It’s definitely not for everyone, but if you wouldn’t mind reading a novel from the perspective of a serial killer this is an excellent read.
