Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the James M. Cain novel The Cocktail Waitress.

The Cocktail Waitress is a James M. Cain novel published posthumously by Hard Case Crime in 2012. My thread discusses the flow and the episodic feel of the book, the sense of dissolution versus resolution, the unique story arc of the heroine, and the heroine's emotional ambiguity as a source of suspense.

Here is the link to Hard Case Crime's page for The Cocktail Waitress.
