She has again written an unusual and chilling novel, set against a background of penetrating character study. Ripley was awarded an Edgar Allan Poe scroll from the Mystery Writers of America. But who would believe Melinda? Patricia Highsmith's Strangers on a Train won praise as a novel and as a Hitchcock film. No one would believe that Victor's patience would ever wear thin no one but Melinda, who found herself being mysteriously deprived of her admirers, one after the other. Everyone admired and respected his patience with his wife.
Through it all, Victor drew sympathy and admiration from his community. But Melinda found a new friend, and a succession of others.
Remember Malcolm McRae? The friend, remembering that Malcolm had been killed, mysteriously, left town. The trouble started when Victor casually remarked to one of Melinda's friends, If I really don't like someone, I kill him. Perhaps it was this special quietness that made Melinda's men friends increasingly uneasy in Victor's presence. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Victor Van Allen didn't like dancing.
