Talented Mr Ripley

Patricia Highsmith was born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1921 but moved to New York when she was six. In her senior year she edited the college magazine, having decided to become a writer at the age of sixteen. Her first novel Strangers on a Train was made into a famous film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. Patricia Highsmith died in Locarno, Switzerland in 1995. Her last novel Small g: A Summer Idyll was published posthumously just over a month later.

Ripley, amoral, hedonistic and charming, is a genuinely original creation

   Mordiskt

   Rolig att läsa och väldigt spännande. Men hoppsan! Boken berättas ur mördarens perspektiv. Det kan upplevas osmakligt men det är ju påhittat som tur är.

   Kusligt spännande att följa en ung mans tankar, och inte vilken ung man som helst utan en psykopat. Mycket skickligt skrivet.
