I read this book on a first generation Kindle in a tent in Yellowstone. It is absorbing enough to help me forget the cold and the mysterious interior condensation. It’s a lot gayer than the movie, as far as I remember. Written in 1955, it remains shockingly sharp and contemporary feeling. It also very much checks its morality at the door; I’m not sure I’ve ever read a book that was so judgment free. It tells the story of a man who murders his way into a substantial fortune, and gets away with it.
It manages the difficult trick of making you root for the sociopath, not least because the victims are all people who inherited their money. It’s hard to feel they deserve the money, so you don’t care when they lose it. At least they don’t deserve it anywhere near as much as the sociopath, who is at least willing to kill for it. The best part is that not only does he not get caught, he doesn’t suffer any guilt over what he’s done either. A model for all of us.
Bonus important author biographical information: Apparently Patricia Highsmith was a miserable misanthrope, who once bought a head of lettuce with a hundred snails on it in her handbag to a cocktail party, saying they were her companions for the evening. Amazing.
