Publisher Review
“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 *
