The No.1 Greatest Crime Writer * The Times *
No one has created psychological suspense more densely and deliciously satisfying * Vogue *
I love Highsmith so much . . . What a revelation her writing is -- Gillian Flynn
Highsmith writes about men like a spider writing about flies * Observer *
For eliciting the menace that lurks in familiar surroundings, there's no one like Patricia Highsmith * Time *
There's no thriller writer's gamesmanship in her novels, none of the reassuring trickery of professional pulp; Highsmith's style is as blunt and straightforward as a strip-search * New Yorker *
For some obscure reason, one of our greatest modernist writers, Patricia Highsmith, has been thought of in her own land as a writer of thrillers. She is both. She is certainly one of the most interesting writers of this dismal century -- Gore Vidal
Classic * USA Today *
I love Highsmith so much . . . What a revelation her writing is -- Gillian Flynn
