    <body><![CDATA[I didn't like this book as well as the other Riply novels. Maybe it was less believable. Also, an underlying theme that Highsmith seems to be playing around with is sexuality. It just doesn't work and feels a bit contrived. That said, for fans of Riply, it's still a good read.]]></body>
