My list recently threw “The Talented Mr. Ripley” by Patricia Highsmith into my hands. I have not seen this movie, but knew the plot from movie advertisements.
In this old-fashioned crime novel, the reader is able to enter the mind of a sociopath. I liked the speed of the book; very descriptive and the suspense of what would happen to Tom Ripley kept me reading.
I know this is the first in a series, but I don’t feel the need to read the others, although I enjoyed this one.
