review 1: In this second Ripley novel Tom is married ( rather surprisingly), and living a moneyed existence in France. Part of his wealth comes from his involvement with art forgeries, involving him in audacious impersonations, and doing away with those who threaten to expose him.Slightly darker than the brilliantly original first novel in the series, but still very readable and fun to follow Ripley wriggling free from his adversaries.
review 2: Tom Ripley has acquired a beautiful wife and a lovely home in the French countryside. As Tom's life can never be without conflict, Tom finds himself caught in the middle of a forgery scandal that could destroy the world he has made for himself. And, of course, we know that he cannot abide his world comforts to be disturbed. We ... morefind Mr Ripley a little older, a little wiser and a little more sure of his ruthless capabilities. The author, Patrica Highsmith, stretched the lines of plausibility on this one just a little, but then again we are talking about the ever scheming Thomas Ripley. Mr. Ripley is completely despicable, but you cannot help but root for him to escape so that Patricia Highsmith can tell another of his outlandish tales – all the while sprinkling her stories with wonderful humor. less
