Lou Ford is the deputy sheriff of a small town in Texas. The worst thing most people can say against him is that he's a little slow and a little boring. But, then, most people don't know about the sickness--the sickness that almost got Lou put away when he was younger. The sickness that is about to surface again.

Review of 'The Killer Inside Me' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This is one of those books that is supposed to be shocking, even the movie was supposed to be messed up, but I found it to be quite a tame book, there is much more shocking stuff out there. Still though I did enjoy this, at times it was pretty on-the-edge of the seat stuff. The killer is pretty dim and reading him as he gets away with stuff is fun.

This was the first book of Jim Thompson I have read, and he has many, I will be definitely checking out more of his work.
