Double Indemnity

This true story is has a dramatic change within the first eleven pages. When you start reading the book it honestly doesn't grab your attention, until you start reading the part about Mrs. Nirdlinger and Mr. Huff when they start having a different kinda of relationship.
At first I thought it was just going to be something you see in movies today when the wife cheats on the husband, I slowly figured out I wasn't even close. Mr. Huff figures out that Mrs. Nirdlinger really wants to kill her husband although she hasn't even came to that conclusion that she wants to do that yet...
This book has many qualities of a Film Noir, first with the most important being Femme Fatale. Mrs. Nirdlinger is everything you would find in one, she's mysterious, tough-sweet, desperate woman...and lets not forget those freckles. The book has the mystery that's no one expects because you never really expect that she wants to kill her husband, let alone plan it out in every detail. Finally, lets not forget the main thing in every Noir murder.
