A review by hpuphd
The Crime Writer by Jill Dawson

4.0

I’m not sure if someone unknown to the novels of Patricia Highsmith would like this book, but for those who enjoy Highsmith it should prove addictive. The first half is tighter in plot and organization, but the whole story is eerily, pleasantly disturbing. Jill Dawson deserves credit for seemingly having mastered all the facts of Highsmith’s private life to have made her such an original (and off-putting) character in this novel.
