"An incredible study of psychological torture and how fine the
membrane is between normality and the underlying darkness."
*Tana French*
"All of Highsmith’s strengths are there in her first novel
[Strangers on a Train], most notably her ability to drill inside
the minds and souls of normal Americans to uncover their moral
failings."
*Peter Swanson - The Guardian*
"Strangers on a Train is a moral-vertigo thriller: Crime and
Punishment for a post-atomic age."
*Tom Nolan - The Los Angeles Times*
"Strangers on a Train is filled with paranoia and anxiety, and
through its twists and turns, we, like poor Guy Haines, are also
drawn into psychopath Bruno's web."
*Sarah Pinborough, author of Behind Her Eyes*
"A moody and disturbing excavation of guilty paranoia…Strangers on
a Train was her debut novel, but [Highsmith's] sense of anxious
foreboding was already fully formed."
*Leonard Cassuto - Wall Street Journal*
"Unfathomably great."
*Errol Morris*
"One is held by an evil kind of suspense…a rarely perceptive study
in criminal psychology."
*New York Herald Tribune*
