Notes From Your Bookseller

Patricia Highsmith’s Tom Ripley isn’t the only character who gets to get into trouble. There is as much darkness in the village of Little Wesley as in the Italy of The Talented Mr. Ripley. If you’ve already read Ripley — it's time for another journey with Deep Water.

The great revival of interest in Patricia Highsmith continues with this work that reveals the chilling reality behind the idyllic facade of American suburban life.In Deep Water, set in the small town of Little Wesley, Vic and Melinda Meller's loveless marriage is held together only by a precarious arrangement whereby in order to avoid the messiness of divorce, Melinda is allowed to take any number of lovers as long as she does not desert her family. Eventually, Vic tries to win her back by asserting himself through a tall tale of murder—one that soon comes true.

Author Biography: Patricia Highsmith is the author of such classics as Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr. Ripley. She died in 1995 in Locarno, Switzerland.
