The Killer Inside Me by Jim Thompson
3.0
"A weed is a plant out of place."
This is a twisted story - first hand account of a few murders and the mind that justifies them and sleeps well at night. It stands the test of time well - you can tell from each chapter as Mr. Lou Ford gets worse and worse. With each murder, he needs to justify more and pull them all together in a way that makes it all okay. He sleeps well, keeps his lies straight and can see almost every angle.
I wish I'd read this all in one sitting. I think it would have helped me keep the officer names and friends and family straight and I would have enjoyed it more. The ending was surprising and not one I'd guessed!
