How A Talent for Murder Performed
A Talent for Murder's Blurbs
About me:

A young man travels from New York to Switzerland to talk thriller writer Patricia Highsmith into one last Tom Ripley book, and his pitch slowly turns sinister. Helen Mirren, Alden Ehrenreich and Olivia Cooke star, Anton Corbijn directs, and Joanna Murray-Smith adapted it from her own play, Switzerland. A thriller about the woman who wrote the best ones, where the guest might be the plot.

Who I'd like to meet:

Anyone who has read every Ripley book and wished for one more.
