Malice Aforethought

Malice Aforethought is a suspense novel written in the 1930s. For the most part, it is told from the point of view of the murderer, though in third person. Unfortunately, that means you have to read his egotistical, misogynistic thoughts for almost 300 pages. I enjoyed the book, but could have done with less of that. He also was so overconfident that he made stupid errors after the fact, sure to ruin the “perfect” murder plots he had conceived. That was bound to happen, but I didn't enjoy reading his thoughts on the matter. The end was satisfying, if nothing else because of its irony. I may or may not read another by this author.
