Nothing More Than Murder by Jim Thompson

Nothing More Than Murder (Crime Masterworks, #40) (Mulholland Classic)

by Jim Thompson

Sometimes a man and woman love and hate each other in equal measure that they can neither stay together nor break apart. Some marriages can only end in murder and some murders only make the ties of love and hatred stronger. This book proves just that.

One issue that Thompson faces is convincing us that these characters would conceive and develop this plan and I felt that this was the least successful aspect of the novel.
