Ripley's Game

This book was witten by the American crime writer Patricia Highsmith. The main character is Tom Ripley who is a dangerous mix of charm and evil.  He can be caring and sensitive. But he can also kill calmly without guilt.

One night, he is insulted by a tall Englishman Jonathan at a party. He gets irritated. Months later, one man comes his home and asks him for help with two murders. He declines it, but he has just a terrible idea  at the time. He remembers the tall Englishman and dicides to involve him in the murders. He starts a dangerous and nasty game.....

I think this story is really interesting! Viewed objectively, Ripley is cruel man ,but he isn't completely cruel man. His mind changes little by little, so I couldn't hate him. His complicated character is so attractive for me. I can't understand his intention.
Anyway, please check this book!!
