I am currently reading Ripley Under Ground, Patricia Highsmith's second novel featuring antihero/villain protagonist Tom Ripley. Highsmith is not a crime fiction author I go back to very often, in fact this is the third novel of her I decided to read, but she is always enjoyable. And I have been wanting to go through her Ripliad for ages. Anyway, happy coincidence, but it is the third crime fiction I read in a row set in autumn. I don't read crime fiction in autumn,not until November anyway. Before, I read horror stories. Like I mentioned in April, it is nice to see the autumnal atmosphere applied to a different genre, and also to get in an autumnal mood months before my favourite season.
Did you watch last years miniseries adaptation of "Ripley" starring Andrew Scott? It won several awards apparently. It is on my "to see" list. I love Andrew Scott as an actor.
