贋作 (河出文庫)

Ripley's charm and darkness are so intertwined that it's hard to tell if he's a villain or a victim of his own choices. What do you think motivated her to keep him morally complex?

The pacing is deliberate, but that made the moments of revelation hit even harder. Do you think this pacing style enhances the suspense or drags it out?

The lush and quiet environment contrasts sharply with the dark undercurrents of the plot. I'm curious whether Highsmith based it on a real place or crafted it purely from imagination.
