About this title: This biography of crime writer Patricia Highsmith (1921-95), author of STRANGERS ON A TRAIN and THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY, draws on her notebooks, diaries, and letters to create a portrait of a darkly obsessive, singularly unlikable (her friend and publisher called her "totally horrible....mean, unkind, unfriendly and cold"), and utterly fascinating woman.

"An exhaustive and meticulously researched look at the life of Patricia Highsmith. Spending this much time inside her head is as unsettling but ultimately as satisfying as her novels."
"I read this under duress. My husband made me but...I just didn't LIKE Patricia Highsmith! She was a truly awful person who ended up dying alone. It gives the reader insight into her fiction but was difficult for me to get through."
