Product Description

Synopsis
The stories collected in this anthology are among Highsmith's most mature, psychologically penetrating works. The warm familiarities of middle-class life become the eerie setting for Highsmith's portrayals of violence, secrecy and madness.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mermaids On The Golf Course, 17 Dec 2004
By A Customer
I found this book on the bookshelf of my home, owned by my landlord, and was quite excited A) because I was attending a short story writing course at the time and B) Patricia wrote The Talented Mr Ripley. I was very dissapointed. None of the storys seen to have any endings, and even if her intent was to keep them somewhat vague - leaving the reader to guess themselves, she failed at that too. I can only imagine that she cashed in on her fame and released a book of short stories that were dull and rushed.
