I read this book just after the first one in the series. Perhaps there was where I went wrong. It was written some 15-20 years after the first one I believe, I don't know what Patricia Highsmith had been doing does years, perhaps writing other books, but it feels a bit like this book tries to find the heights the first book had by having the same charcter. Ripley is know married but is still partly criminal. He is involved in art forgery and "the firm" is in trouble when an american collector are on to them. I don't dislike this book, nor can I say that I really liked it. I read it but can't say that I really cared that much about what happend to the characters. It will take some time before I start on the next one in the series.
