The Talented Mr Ripley Reviews

Ripley, amoral, hedonistic and charming, is a genuinely original creation * Daily Telegraph *
As haunting and harrowing a study of a schizophrenic murder as paper will bear. A glittering addition to the meagre ranks of people who make books that you really can't put down * Sunday Times *
Precisely plotted, stylishly written and kept alert by an icy wit. Streets ahead of the conventional thriller: a cool little classic of its kind * Evening Standard *
An outstanding thriller which has deservedly become a classic * Spectator *
