Review

"- 'The outrageous, riproaring Mr Ripley is an abiding delight' - Colin Dexter - 'Farce of the highest calibre.' - Maxim Jakubowski, Guardian - '... like fine malt whisky, Angel is high proof and totally addictive' - Jim Driver, Time Out - 'Three cheers for an exemplary hero who has never made an excuse and left. Ripley on rich and ribald form.' - Philip Oakes, Literary Review
