I liked that one but thought it overly long.

RJ, my copy also included Double Indemnity (not a list book). Both are very good, and quick reads. I'm now watching the movie TPARW with Jack Nicholson and Jessica Lange. May watch DI with weekend.

I also really enjoyed DI but Postman is truly a step above. Check out the 1946 film with Lana Turner and James Garfield, who had a brief affair during filming. Cain enjoyed Turner's performance so much he inscribed a leather-bound copy of the novel and gave it to her. Seeing old time Laguna Beach circa 1946 is interesting too, at least for me since I live about 25 miles away from there.
