Synopsis

The Postman Always Rings Twice is a classic crime novel written by James M. Cain. The story follows Frank Chambers, a drifter who stops at a roadside diner and falls in love with the owner's wife, Cora. The two begin a passionate affair and plot to kill Cora's husband, Nick, in order to be together.

As the title suggests, the postman always rings twice, and this theme of inevitability and fate runs throughout the novel. The murder is carried out, but things quickly spiral out of control as Frank and Cora's relationship becomes strained by guilt and suspicion.

The novel is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and murder, with a dark and suspenseful atmosphere that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The Postman Always Rings Twice is a timeless classic that has been adapted into several films and remains a must-read for fans of crime fiction.

On subsequent listens, however, I found myself wishing for a bit more variety in the soundtrack.
