Praise for Ripley's Game

To call Patricia Highsmith a thriller writer is true but not the whole truth: her books have stylistic texture, psychological depth, mesmeric readability

Sunday Times

Highsmith has done it again. It seems to me she has reached a point where because she knows exactly what she is about she cannot miss

The Times

It's hard to imagine anyone interested in modern fiction who has not read the Ripley novels
