Media Reviews
To call Patricia Highsmith a thriller writer is true but not the whole truth: her books have stylistic texture, psychological depth, mesmeric readability * Sunday Times *
Highsmith has done it again. It seems to me she has reached a point where because she knows exactly what she is about she cannot miss * The Times *
It's hard to imagine anyone interested in modern fiction who has not read the Ripley novels * Daily Telegraph *
