Publisher and industry reviews

UK Kirkus review

If conscience is the fear of being found out Tom Ripley should have plenty on his after building a pleasant life on one murder and financing it from another, but he never turns a hair. Highsmith keeps us on tenterhooks again as the past threatens to surface, before saving him with a thumping stroke of luck. The question is, will she ever bring him to book? (Kirkus UK)
