Editor’s note American writer who spent most of her life in Europe and made readers complicit with murderers. Strangers on a Train, her debut, filmed by Hitchcock, starts with two men proposing to swap murders. The Talented Mr. Ripley, the best rated here, sends Tom Ripley to Italy to bring a rich man’s son home; instead he kills him and takes his life, and the reader finds themselves hoping he gets away with it. The Price of Salt, published under a pseudonym, is a love story between two women that dared to end happily; it was filmed as Carol.
