The Bride Wore Black by Cornell Woolrich

2.0

2 1/2 stars. If Quentin Tarantino didn't draw inspiration for Kill Bill from this, I'll eat my shoe. That's what I kept thinking of while reading this. Unfortunately, unlike Kill Bill, the repetitive nature of this isn't nearly as entertaining. The plot (minor spoilers) involves the killing of five different men and as each one as killed, there follows a post mortem analysis by the cop who's on the trail of the killer. There is good writing here and it wasn't that I didn't enjoy this; it was just way too repetitive. The nature of the cop's sections, in particular, felt more like a screenplay than a novel.
