The Silence of the Lambs (1988) by Thomas Harris

FBI trainee Clarice Starling is tapped to interview incarcerated psychiatrist-turned-serial-killer Hannibal Lecter in the hope he can shed some light on a series of murders in which women are partially skinned; Lecter obliges by doling out just enough information to keep Starling on the case.  Features a better ending than its predecessor, Red Dragon, but falls short in nearly every other respect, with a less interesting killer and a bifurcated plot (the primary purpose of which is to set up Harris' next book in the series, Hannibal).  Still, a satisfactory thriller, and the greenhorn Starling (though unnecessarily gorgeous) is appealing enough.  Jodie Foster stars in the movie adaptation, directed by Jonathan Demme.
