Similar to the first Ripley novel in that the main character "impersonates" another, though this time the "other" doesn't actually exist. Stretched the limits of "believability" to a great extent, but the ending took an interesting turn, one that reminded me in ways of Simenon's excellent The Engagement (filmed as "Monsieur Hire"). Overall, a worthwhile "literary thriller." I'm looking forward to reading more Highsmith; despite the manipulative nature of many of her novels, they are page-turners, and I love the moral ambiguity found in them. Highsmith was a master of her craft, though even masters are human and, hence, make mistakes.
