Reviews

Evening Standard
Precisely plotted, stylishly written and kept alert by an icy wit. Streets ahead of the conventional thriller: a cool little classic of its kind
Gillian Flynn, Mail on Sunday
I love that [Highsmith] makes this sociopath so completely charming that you're rooting for him
Hugh Montgomery, BBC Culture
Its story of a social-climbing con-man is more pertinent than ever
The Times
An outstanding thriller which has deservedly become a classic
Spectator
An outstanding thriller which has deservedly become a classic
Independent
The Italian coastal scenes, beautiful cast and sense of summer languor that disguises evil impulses make this a disturbing but gorgeous read
Gillian Flynn, Wall Street Journal
I love [Highsmith] so much . . . what a revelation her writing was
Daily Telegraph
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
Sarah Waters
I'm a huge Highsmith fan. If there's one book I wish I'd written, it's The Talented Mr Ripley
Sunday Times
As haunting and harrowing a study of a schizophrenic murder as paper will bear. A glittering addition to the meagre ranks of people who make books that you really can't put down
