From AudioFile

American-born Tom Ripley has lived in the suburbs of Paris for some fifteen years, supported by income from not-so-honestly-gotten gains. An impending scandal threatens his comfortable existence, and Tom must act carefully and quickly. Novelist Highsmith deftly develops the story to elicit our sympathy for the crook, and we oblige. Briton Nigel Lambert reads the story with mounting excitement, immediately catching the reader in the suspense. Accents of the American characters have an unnatural, Midwestern flatness, but aside from this shortcoming, the story is a good choice for recording, and the production is well-done. N.B.H. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --Ce texte provient de la Audio Cassette édition.

Product Description

"Ripley is an unmistakable descendant of Gatsby, that 'penniless young man without a past' who will stop at nothing."-Frank Rich

Now part of American film and literary lore, Tom Ripley, "a bisexual psychopath and art forger who murders without remorse when his comforts are threatened" (New York Times Book Review), was Patricia Highsmith's favorite creation. In these volumes, we find Ripley ensconced on a French estate with a wealthy wife, a world-class art collection, and a past to hide. In Ripley Under Ground (1970), an art forgery goes awry and Ripley is threatened with exposure; in The Boy Who Followed Ripley (1980), Highsmith explores Ripley's bizarrely paternal relationship with a troubled young runaway, whose abduction draws them into Berlin's seamy underworld; and in Ripley Under Water (1991), Ripley is confronted by a snooping American couple obsessed with the disappearance of an art collector who visited Ripley years before. More than any other American literary character, Ripley provides "a lens to peer into the sinister machinations of human behavior" (John Freeman, Pittsburgh Gazette).

This review is from: Ripley Under Ground (Audio Cassette)
Nigel Lambert reading Patricia Highsmith's "Ripley Under Ground" is a masterpiece. All the humour and suspense is rendered splendidly by Mr Lambert's beautiful reading.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Hypnotic suspense, Janv. 27 2004
Par Philippe Horak (Zug, Switzerland) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Ripley Under Ground (Hardcover)
Another adventure with Patricia Highsmith's lovely character Thomas Ripley. This book follows the author's "The Talented Mr Ripley" so that the reader is already acquainted with most of the protagonists like Dick and Chris Greenleaf, Bernard Murchisson or Tom's wife Heloise. When Ed Banbury and Jeff Constant, owners of the Buckmaster Gallery in London, decide to open a new show featuring paintings by the famous Derwatt, the situation becomes uncomfortable when the American collector, Murchisson, claims that a painting he bought three years ago is a fake. Knowing that Derwatt died years ago in Greece and that Bernard had been forging paintings by "Derwatt", allegedly living in a remote village in Mexico, it will take all of Ripley's talent to clean the reputation of the Buckmaster Gallery, as Murchisson's visit to London is imminent. Mrs Highsmith's highly successful ingredients are all present in this novel: crime, horror, humour and suspense.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Improbable Plot but Still a Good Read, Aoû 6 2003
Par G. Creamean "tom_riply" (Washington, DC USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ripley Under Ground (Paperback)
This book continues on about 6 years after "The Talanted Mr. Ripley" ends. The first part of this book takes place in the span of only a few days and is almost comical. He has people in and out of his house constantly (and they are all men, does this mean something?). The plot of the art forgery and the murder is very unbelievable. But if Tom Ripley could fool an Italian police officer into thinking he was two different people just by putting on some glasses and changing the part and color of his hair, as he did in "Talented", then I guess he could fool someone in this book by wearing a beard. However, the last part was very unbelievable and there is no way he wouldn't have been arrested. As if the police are going to find burning a man's body because he (supposedly) told him to before he committed suicide, and then crushing the skull, is not suspicious behaviour. But, I couldn't put the book down, and I'm reading Ripley's Game, so Patricia Highsmith must be a great writer, at least to me.
