#WhereAreYouMonday - in France but traveling to Germany because Tom Ripley is diabolical
“There‘s no such thing as a perfect murder,” Tom said to Reeves. “That‘s just a parlor game, trying to dream one up. Of course you could say there are a lot of unsolved murders. That‘s different.”
I‘m enjoying the third book of The Talented Mr. Ripley series. #FirstLineFridays
I listened to the Talented Mr. Ripley in October. When I saw there is a new Netflix series, I decided to listen to the second of the five books before watching. Just because. #readbeforewatching I enjoyed both books. The narrating is really well done too.
This picks up Tom Ripley's story 6 years after The talented Mr Ripley. I adored the 1st book, it was a taut, enigmatic fast-paced thriller. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by her sequel. I found the plot far-fetched, irritating characters and little tension. Shame really as I was really looking forward to it. I will read more of Patricia Highsmith's work, just not Ripley.

1. Every day without fail, it's the only thing that keeps me sane(ish)
2. I listen to a lot of audiobooks when doing other things. I have a lot of free time due to chronic illness. Sometimes it's the only thing I can do during flareups.
3. Non-fiction - nature books
Fiction - gothic novels
If stuck in a reading rut, poetry or short stories, moving on to essays as my concentration mojo comes back 😁

Features Highsmith's most famous and beguiling antihero. Quite different to most murder mysteries, which is something I enjoyed about it.

And so the Ripliad limps to its conclusion as Tom is spooked by a prying American who is intrigued by his less than pristine past. Fairly thin gruel, to be honest. Stop after the first three would be my advice.
