Welcome to Litsy!

Book 2 in the Ripley series, we have jumped 5 or so years ahead. Tom has complicated his scamming life with a French wife.He is in business with a group of men who are selling fake paintings, and then of course he makes things more complicated.
When reading these I am always amazed at the advancements we have made - with the telephone, law, forensics.
The best thing about Highsmith is I truly cannot guess where Ripley will go next.

Themes: Creative Prequel to ‘A Christmas Carol‘, Excellent writing, Literary-vibe

I saw someone else say that after finishing this you could pick up Charles Dickens‘ ‘A Christmas Carol‘ and immediately continue, and I agree! Clinch‘s writing style is so easy to read and get lost in 1800‘s London. I loved how he portrayed Jacob Marley, and I do think this is what could‘ve happened to make Scrooge the way he is. I have no critiques!
