[Tara Schmidt · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very entertaining, but difficult to read

I really wanted to give it 5 stars because I love reading books by Ripley. However, many times throughout the novel, words are misspelled and combined together. I am not sure if that is a digital mistyped error or just a glitch. Either way, several pages in every section were too hard to read because I could not figure out where one word ended and another began.
