That Patricia Highsmith's prose continues to draw me into the frightening and abhorrent world of the blithe, remorseless, sybaritic, Tom Ripley should tell you everything you need to know about this series of books. Another masterpiece from the late Ms. Highsmith. I thought this one was better than [b:Ripley Underground Ripley #2|56710874|Ripley Underground Ripley #2|Patricia Highsmith|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png|88662814], but not as tightly woven as [b:The Talented Mr. Ripley|2247142|The Talented Mr. Ripley (Ripley, #1)|Patricia Highsmith|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1611780694l/2247142._SY75_.jpg|1817520]. It gave a really nice adrenaline rush, and I found it difficult to put down, but there were parts that were just too unbelievable. Inept Mafia guys showing up exactly when expected, as if on cue in a one-act comedy play, was just over-the-top ridiculous. I accidentally read this one second instead of third--the books weren't very clearly labeled, though I could have checked the original pub date on title page verso. Doesn't really matter now, as I don't see myself reading any additional Ripley novels. The original was excellent, as I recall, but this one, well I doubt it would still be in print even if it weren't for its connection with the first, and also because Highsmith's reputation is enjoying a bit of a revival. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Tom Ripley is enjoying his wealthy lifestyle in France, until an associate asks him to kill someone. But Ripley detests murder, unless it is absolutely necessary. Someone else should do the dirty work for them - yes, someone with no criminal record could earn a very generous fee for doing a couple of simple murders. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
