I'm a huge Highsmith fan. If there's one book I wish I'd written, it's The Talented Mr Ripley
The no.1 Greatest Crime Writer
Ripley, amoral, hedonistic and charming, is a genuinely original creation. It is hard to imagine anyone interested in modern fiction who has not read the Ripley novels.
An outstanding thriller which has deservedly become a classic

I love [Highsmith] so much . . . what a revelation her writing was
[Highsmith] forces us to re-evaluate the lines between reason and madness, normal and abnormal, while goading us into sharing her treacherous hero's point of view
Precisely plotted, stylishly written and kept alert by an icy wit. Streets ahead of the conventional thriller: a cool little classic of its kind
I'm a huge Highsmith fan. If there's one book I wish I'd written, it's The Talented Mr Ripley
