About this listen
The second novel in Highsmith's hugely influential, groundbreaking Ripley series.
'The No.1 Greatest Crime Writer' THE TIMES
'Ripley, amoral, hedonistic and charming, is a genuinely original creation' DAILY TELEGRAPH
'The sequence of novels allows Highsmith to create a frightening sense of momentum' GUARDIAN
Tom Ripley is now the owner of a beautiful estate in France, a wealthy art collector and married to an heiress. The Buckmaster Gallery is staging an exhibition by the celebrated artist, Derwatt, but an American collector claims that the expensive masterpiece he bought three years ago is a fake. It is, of course, and he wants to talk to Derwatt - but Derwatt, inconveniently, is dead.
Ripley needs the perfect solution to keep his role in the fraud a secret and his reputation clean, but not everyone's nerves are as steady as his. Especially when it comes to murder.
Ripley Under Ground is an ingenious novel of masks and identity, illusion and reality, and is followed by Ripley's Game, The Boy Who Followed Ripley and Ripley Under Water.©2016 Patricia Highsmith (P)2016 Little Brown Book Group

Good story.
It felt like the ending was a bit rushed but other wise a good story.

Great second book but the ending…hmmm
I am working my way through the entire series of books, I absolutely loved the first one! Wow such a talented author. This book has been a terrific follow-up and had me hooked all the way through, but I do agree with someone else’s review, the ending seemed a little rushed. Regardless, I still finished this in one sitting and going onto number three. :)

Good story but not quite like “The Talented Mr Ripley”
It’s a good story, but the character development of Ripley isn’t quite the same as the original.
Still a good book. Perhaps better if you haven’t read the original (although there will be some references you’ll miss).
