Product Description

Product Description

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. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reviewed By Alan Gerrard, April 2 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Nothing More Than Murder (Paperback)
This novel is Jim Thompson at his best. A tale of small town fraud, murder, lies and adultery. Joe Wilmot is a part-owner of a small movie house with a passion for conning his employees and talking down the unions. He is a man with it all sewn up, an arrogant man with a deadly fraud in mind. But the final twist in the form of his mistress and a tenacious insurance investigator called Appleton, brings this powerful tale of suspense to a shuddering, disturbing conclusion. Very similar in places to Double Indeminity, but still Thompson at his best.

4.0 out of 5 stars Details of movie theater trade most intriguing, Sep 8 1997
By bandini@uci.edu (Bloomington, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nothing More Than Murder (Paperback)
Thompson's tale of fraud, murder, and adultery is unremarkable (compared to Thompson's other works) except in it's presentation of the politics of a small town. Most of all, the presentation of Joe Wilmer's job as an owner of a first-run movie theater and his dealings with the union is fascinating. This is a novel that could have only been written by Jim Thompson.
