“Whoever Followed Mister Ripley” is the fourth novel about the most well-known character of American writer Patricia Highsmith, drawing the reader into her strange, enclosed, irrational world of shifted moral values and blurred boundaries between good and evil.
In the character of Mister Ripley, it’s now hard to recognize the once-poor, penniless young man with a dark past who “won’t stop at anything.” The reader meets Tom Ripley in his luxurious French estate, where he indulges in his dahlias, plays the harpsichord, and enjoys other harmless joys—preferring to sell counterfeit paintings rather than brushes and paints. But his calm life changes when Ripley meets a sixteen-year-old American boy from a very wealthy family who ran away from home after the mysterious death of his father, a food industry magnate.
Ripley feels a strange compassion for the teenager. Events unfold rapidly, and soon this unexpected pair is drawn into the criminal underworld of Western Berlin in the 1970s…
