Review: `Highsmith's dark humour oozes through this new collection like a
particularly delicious poison' -- Andrew Wilson, Independent on Sunday

`Magnificent ... Highsmith ratchets up a furtive sense of
foreboding and dread ... This collection reminds us how skilled she was' -- Daily Telegraph

`Showcases the almost ventriloquistic powers of a dazzling writer
... Highsmith is addictively brilliant' -- Guardian

`The sinister and the beautiful, the warm and the cold are
superbly interwoven' -- Daily Express

`This collection of stories is a treat ... Highsmith's prose is
lean, translucent, compact, direct' -- The Times
