"The Postman Always Rings the Bell on Both Sides", the woman who abandoned her husband twice, what happened to the end?

Despair has the power of despair, just as hope and hope have the power of incompetence---- James F. Kennedy. M. Kane

Today I would like to recommend to you a book that I have been reading recently, after reading it I have a lot of thinking about love, there is a preface in the book that I like very much: Reading these imaginary despairs can somehow offset some real despair. I have explained the story line of the whole book completely, and if you don't have time to read, you may be able to take the time to read it, the title of the book is "The Postman Always Rings the Bell Twice".

The book is titled "The Postman Always Rings the Bell on Both Sides" and there are many rumor versions, the most credible version is the real case in which Ruth agreed to ring the bell twice as a signal in order not to expose the insurance policy she secretly bought for her husband.

The text does not appear in the postman and the doorbell, but there are many times: two murders, two elopes, two deaths, two car accidents, two cats, two trials, which perfectly fit the word "total" in the title, implying that everything is arranged by fate, and that what should come is always coming. The book presents the whole event to us from the perspective of the protagonist, and the tough guy novel disdains to twist and pinch the clues and hide them in the details. Strangely enough, when reading this book, I unconsciously sided with the "criminals", I was worried that their murders would be exposed again and again, and I would also sweat for each of their steals.

The story of the novel is based on a murder of a husband in 1927. Thirty-one-year-old blonde beauty Ruth, together with her lover, Bodice salesman Judd, strangled her husband Albert with a rope and attempted to defraud her of the personal accident insurance money she had previously bought for him in secret. The plot of the beginning of the novel is almost the same as the real case, but the ending is very different.

The young bastard, Frank, wandered around, and one afternoon he was thrown from a truck carrying hay. Arriving at the small bar and hotel on the side of the road, the owner of the shop is an oily Greek, and his wife, Cora, is a fair-skinned white man with curly black hair, and she marries the man who rescued her from a cheap restaurant because she wanted a stable life. She thought she would put up with the greasy greek to live with him for the rest of her life, until she met Frank and her discontent was completely ignited. The Greeks became a stumbling block in their love, and the two began to murder him.

The first murder was arranged when the Greeks were taking a bath, they were ready to slam him on the head from behind with a leather-wrapped metal rod, and then press him into the water and drown, everything was ready, but they were suddenly bad by a policeman who suddenly passed by, afraid of being suspected by the police, so they had to wake up the Greeks, fortunately the Greeks did not realize that they thought that their own mistakes had caused the injury.

The murder scared Frank and Korra a little, fearing that they would eventually be suspected by the Greeks and would kill again. So agreed to elope and wander around, Frank decided to walk to the bus stop two miles away, why not drive? Because Frank said, "Stealing a man's wife is not a big deal, but stealing his car is a crime of theft."

But not long after walking, Cora's elaborate outfit was so messed up by the dust of the road that they couldn't get a ride, and Kora decided to go back to the Greeks, and she was afraid to go to the messy place again, and she had had enough of that kind of day.

Frank began a wandering man again. He gambled and won some money, and he wanted to go back to Korra, just when he met the Greeks who came out to buy. The Greeks took him back, the place where there was Kola.

This brief separation deepened the young man's love affair, so there was no other way but to kill the Greeks, so they planned a car trip that made the murder look like an ordinary car accident, and Frank la got the Greek drunk, with Korra driving, and letting the passing tourists, the restaurant owner, witness this. Finally, support them. Then the car accident was fixed in a lot where car accidents were frequent, and everything went smoothly.

In this car accident, they got rid of the Greeks as they wished, and thought they could live happily together, but they were easily seen through by the police and insurance companies investigating the case, and ushered in the first trial.

The policeman lured them into confessing each other's guilt, and the helpless Frank and Cora began to suspect each other for the first time, when an intermediary in the prison said that he had a way to contact a well-known defense lawyer to defend the two at a low price, and the lawyer had always been at odds with the policeman, so he would do his best to defend them. The police and the insurance company based the case on the basis that the two had purchased a large amount of insurance for the Greeks, with a motive for murder, and the lawyer eventually proved that the Greeks' large insurance was purchased without his wife, Korra, and that the two were not acquitted and received high insurance compensation.

The freed two return to the Greek hotel to discuss taking the insurance money and starting over in a new city, And Cora wants to make a fortune with the small hotel before the hotel is rented, so he changes the way he operates, and the hotel becomes a bar business. Cora is more and more reluctant to leave this small hotel, she wants to live here in peace, and the gap between her opinions and Frank is becoming more and more inconsistent. They quarreled more frequently over this matter, but the days were still not salty or calm.

At the end of the probation, Cora's mother dies, and she returns to her mother's house to deal with the aftermath, which Frank does not know, so he cheats on a leopard-keeping woman he knows at a gas station. After a brief week, Cora returns to the small hotel and Frank returns to life.

But this brief calm is broken by the prison agent, who uses the confessions of the two men in prison to threaten Frank and Cora with all the insurance money or send them to prison. The resourceful Frank kidnaps the intermediary and lures his accomplices to hand over the original confession, at which point the woman who raises the leopard sends a baby leopard to Frank so that he will not forget him. Cora discovers their adultery and is completely crushed.

Frank loves Cora, as always, while Frank is afraid that Cora will expose him, and he is afraid that she will die with him. If love is mixed with fear, it is no longer love, but hate.

They recount each other's thoughts, when Cora suddenly announces that she is pregnant. Frank was happy because new life meant new beginnings, new things. They went to the city hall the next day to get their marriage license, and then went to the beach to play, and they agreed to go to the middle of the sea together to test whether they wanted to kill each other in the middle of the sea, and they passed this test and decided to forget everything in the past and start to be reborn.

Contrary to their wishes, Cora had to drive to the hospital urgently because of the stomach pain caused by swimming too hard in the sea, but there was a car accident on the way, this time it was Cora who left. While in prison, Frank was full of worries about whether Cora was thinking that he had deliberately killed her at the moment when he finally closed his eyes, and if there was an afterlife, he must tell her clearly that he loved her, and this time it was really just an accident.

This time the trial did not care for Frank anymore, the policeman accused Frank of killing the Greeks because of the high insurance money, killing Cora, swallowing the money alone and then living with the woman who raised the leopard, all this conjecture was finally convicted by a note left by Cora, which clearly wrote all the facts of the crime, and could not be defended. The note was written when Cora wanted to take a taxi away when they were arguing, and after they communicated with each other, they went to the city hall to get married, and no one cared about the note.

This love, which was thought to be happy, eventually began to suspect each other, hurt each other, and torture each other after they were together, until finally they died.
