The great revival of interest in Patricia Highsmith continues with the publication of a novel that will give dog owners nightmares for years to come. With an eerie simplicity of style, Highsmith turns our next-door neighbors into sadistic psychopaths, lying in wait among white picket fences and manicured lawns.

In A Dog's Ransom, Highsmith blends savage humor with brilliant social satire in this dark tale of a high-minded criminal who hits a wealthy Manhattan couple where it hurts the most - by kidnapping their beloved poodle.

Kept me interested the whole time! Great characters. Working my way through all PH books. Mr. Ripley series still my favorite.

Another PH winner

My least favorite Highsmith so far. Ugh. Anyway, I finished it. Didn't really HATE it, but it just never caught any narrative momentum and didn't enjoy the characters. I don't have to like the characters in a book, I just helps to NOT be apathetic to the whole damn lot. Highsmith did what she is fantastic at doing, however, and carved out her character like only Highsmith can. She pulls virtues into vices and bends and twists banal personalities into something that gains a weight and heaviness page by page.

Book's Bark is Worse than its Bite.

I really enjoyed the story - a clever idea to start off with the mysterious kidnapping of a beloved pooch. Great characters, and was hooked through the second last chapter. Then after Chapter 24 I felt like throwing the book at the wall (but, of course, it was electronic). Highsmith’s endings are often vexing.

Another classic Highsmith - FWIW
