Oh my gosh, what the heck is going on. About 12 minutes into the audiobook, this happens:
“I took her in my arms and mashed my mouth up against hers. . . ‘Bite me! Bite me!’
I bit her. I sunk my teeth into her lips so deep I could feel the blood spurt into my mouth. It was running down her neck when I carried her upstairs.
And here I thought the characters in Double Indemnity were completely bonkers. I guess I was wrong. James M. Cain definitely is the master of creating characters that the reader easily can insta-loathe right from the very first page.
