For eliciting the menace that lurks in familiar surroundings, there's no one like Patricia Highsmith - Time

A writer who has created a world of her own - a world claustrophobic and irrational which we enter each time with a sense of personal danger . . . Miss Highsmith is the poet of apprehension - Graham Greene

A cracker . . . a compellingly creepy novel that foreshadowed much of what Highsmith would explore in The Talented Mr Ripley - Sydney Morning Herald
