Description
This third novel by Patricia Highsmith is the first to introduce one of the best-known anti-heroes in detective fiction: Tom Ripley. The detecting in the novel is inept, and Ripley gets away with murder. The 1999 film version by Anthony Minghella was a critical and commercial success but lacked much of the book’s subtlety.
