Jim Thompson : The Kill-Off before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Kill-Off:
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Love "Breaking Bad" You Will Love Jim Thompson BooksBy Jeff H.If you love "Breaking Bad" you will love reading books by Jim Thompson. This is one of his best books. Each chapter is narrated by a different character in the book. I'm amazed out how the author gets so deeply into the psyche of each character with their unique twisted, disturbing and complicated personality.He has had several books become films (e.g., The Getaway, The Grifters). He was born over a century ago, but his stories were way ahead of their time.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Amazing charactersBy robert bThe Kill Off is a less known book by Jim Thompson. I was amazed by the characters depth and the way that made the story play out. The story revolves around a bed-ridden sociopath who has taken advantage of everyone around her for years, and each chapter is seen from the view of a different person who she has hurt. It builds towards an inevitable nasty conclusion.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. small town crimeBy John HiltonWell written book from the perspective of each character of a small town. Coincidence the population is 1280? (His other book pop. 1280 also top notch). Enjoyable whodunit
Luane Devore's days are numbered. All her neighbors in the declining seaside resort town of Manduwoc want her dead. Some, like her young husband Ralph and his girlfriend Danny, want the thousands of dollars she keeps hidden under the mattress she spends her days resting on. Others want her to stop her malicious gossip--some of which could ruin lives.Told from multiple perspectives, The Kill-Off tells the story of a woman not long for this earth--but who will finally take matters into their own hands, and when? THE KILL-OFF was the basis of Maggie Greenwald's critically acclaimed film of the same name.
From Library JournalThompson throws readers a curve in these two titles. Written in his signature tough-guy style, The Kill-Off (1957) is about a murder before it actually happens as protagonist Luane Devore is waiting to be knocked off by any number of likely assassins from among her friends and relatives. Published posthumously in 1985, The Rip- Off has a comedic tilt as Britt Rainstar's life is turned upside down after meeting the luscious Manuela Aloe. Thompson is always a fun ride. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.About the AuthorJim Thompson was born in Anadarko, Oklahoma. He began writing fiction at a very young age, selling his first story to True Detectivewhen he was only fourteen. Thompson eventually wrote twenty-nine novels, all but three of which were published as paperback originals.

Several of his novels have been filmed by American and French directors, resulting in classic noir including The Killer Inside Me (1952), After Dark My Sweet(1955), and The Grifters (1963).
