The Postman always rings twice by James M. Cain

❤ 🤍 💙 🧡 🖤  I loved the story, the characters and Cain's writing style. Quick read. 

The title of the novel is a metaphor. There is no Postman character. It probably means that judgment will come with a second ring (or crime). The characters are all grey, dark grey. Frank is a con-man not a hero. Cora is a feme fatale who manipulates Frank. A classic noir relationship. Maybe this is why I pictured all characters and scenarios in black and white while I was reading the book. It was great.
