What??

I enjoyed this very much. I was NOT ready for it to end but, clearly, the author was over it. It seemed she just got tired of writing and stopped. I was stunned that the story was over. Oh, well.. It was great while it lasted.

Cynical enough

It’s a good mystery, not because things are necessarily mysterious but because one is never too sure of reality with these characters. Not my favorite book by Highsmith, but it’s a good listen, and Simon Vance as narrator does a good job.

Boring

The narration was superb but the story was dull. I kept waiting for it to improve but it simply didn’t.

A quite entertaining story

I noted some reviewers seemed to feel the ending a bit abrupt, as if Highsmith ran out of steam. However I feel it ended quite well, and she deliberately crafted it that way,

A wonderful stand alone novel

This is one of Highsmith’s novels from when she was at the height of her story-telling powers. Everything about the book is a satisfying pleasure.
