Now, THIS is how the sequels should be!
I was so hoping that this book would redeem the legacy of Ripley after the last book and this book delivered!!
I loved that Highsmith made the story evolve in an organic way, while still keeping a lot of the intrigue and maintained elements of what made the first Ripley book so amazing. Loved the development of the story and I actually enjoyed the characters in this one; they weren't completely insufferable as the ones in Ripley Under Ground (don't get me started).
This book reinvigorated me with the story and makes me all the more excited to finish the series and see where Highsmith takes Ripley next!
