"Patricia Highsmith is a craftsman who has made the suspense novel her own domain" (The Times)
"The basic nightmare situation - to be accused of a crime you did not commit and be unable to prove your innocence- is the subject of The Cry of the Owl... It's Kafka with a vengeance... compulsive" (Spectator)
