A review by paulataua
The Cry of the Owl by Patricia Highsmith

2.0

A peeping tom gets involved in the life of his voyeuristic victim, a move that will lead to murder. I read this months ago and for some reason forget to add it to Goodreads. It was possibly my unconscious ridding me of an unpleasant memory. I am a fan of Highsmith, but I really didn’t get this one. The whole thing seems quite unlikely and there are so many absurdities within the story that you have to keep going back to check whether what you just read really happened. Love you Patricia, but hated this one!
