I loved this psychological drama. MC , David Kelsey is seriously stuggling with his grasp on reality. Bizarre, yet written in such a believable way , because it is believable, yet we rarely come upon these characters in real life. Is a deeply traumatised person capable of anything ? Obsession is a real draw for some people. How far they may take it is frightening. Subtle humour too. I‘ll be savouring the P Highsmith‘s books I have left.

I‘m onto my next Patricia Highsmith. Perfect holiday ( any day ) reading 👌🏻♥️

An innocent man is sentenced to prison for a crime he didn't commit. After he serves his time, he returns to his family, but he's a changed man. It's a really heavy story, one of Highsmith's best.

Ripley‘s Game by Patricia Highsmith features her most famous and beguiling antihero. Read my review here at John C Adams Reviews:

Epic library haul part two : graphic novels.

This is pretty much a fictionalized version of Patricia Highsmith‘s career shifting from being a comic book writer, a job she hated, to a novelist. It‘s a cool graphic novel, I really like the artwork. I don‘t think I would have liked her as a person though (the intro explains that she had a bunch of prejudices, quite problematic.)
Her kitty‘s name was Spider. How great is that?
Venkman approved.

It‘s May, time to pull out our Patricia Highsmith books for #AuthorAMonth. What are you reading?

#AuthorAMonth is a no-pressure, no-commitment Litsy challenge. The goal is to celebrate the works of a particular author each month. Authors were chosen through polls by Litsy participants. Read as many as you like, skip months when needed, it's entirely up to you!

There will be some prizes sent at the end of the year.

Well obviously I loved this one since it took me 3 sittings and about 2 days to finish haha.
I could definitely see similarities to The Talented Mr Ripley, which I also loved! Highsmith really has a way of showing you the twisted workings of a twisted mind.
