Review Quotes:

"Mystery writer Patricia Highsmith was known by her fans for her understated yet disturbing prose. In this collection of selected stories and novels...the listener is led down Highsmith's garden path to encounter wondrously pretty plots flowering as poisonous flytraps. Cassandra Campbell ably disguises what's coming with affable interpretations of character, while Bronson Pinchot subtly steers each turn of discovery...Both narrators succeed in playing Highsmith's elegant game, making even the lesser-known stories a masterful garden of delights. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award."
