Synopsis
En “Ripley en Peligro”, Patricia Highsmith -siempre dentro del género negro/policial- da muestras de una trama densa desde el punto de vista narrativo/psicológico. Tom Ripley y su mujer Heloise disfrutan de una plácida existencia en el paraíso perdido de una pequeña localidad francesa, cuando aparecen en escena los Pritchard, una enigmática pareja de norteamericanos quienes sacarán a luz dos asesinatos que Ripley habría cometido tiempo atrás. Cuando el pasado acecha, Ripley se encuentra acorralado por las encrucijadas de su propio sentimiento de culpa…

Reviews
Not many mysteries feature a murderer as a protagonist, but Highsmith's popular series featuring the cultivated psychopath Tom Ripley (e.g., The Talented Mr. Ripley, Audio Reviews, LJ 4/1/91) is an exception. In this sortie, Ripley is quietly enjoying his lovely home in the French countryside when it appears his past may be catching up with him. He receives a phone call ostensibly from someone he knows he murdered; and then there are those creepy new neighbors who have ties to some of Ripley's enemies. Well written and charming, this unabridged audiobook is likely to please public library patrons. One caveat: since this is a British production, narrator Geoffrey Matthews must spend much time affecting American accents for Ripley and his nemesis, which may turn off some listeners.
