Reviews
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., An incredible study of psychological torture and how fine the membrane is between normality and the underlying darkness., 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., 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., Murder, in Patricia Highsmith's hands, is made to occuralmost as casually as the bumping of a fender.

Synopsis
" Strangers on a Train has lost none of its power to disturb...We will likely be reading Patricia Highsmith for the next one hundred years." --Paula Hawkins Just in time for the centennial celebration of groundbreaking noir fiction writer Patricia Highsmith comes a reissue of her propulsive, engrossing debut, Strangers on a Train , with a new introduction by best-selling author Paula Hawkins. Guy Haines and Charles Anthony Bruno are passengers on the same train. Haines is a successful architect in the midst of a divorce, Bruno a mysterious smooth-talker with a sadistic proposal: he'll murder Haines's wife if Haines will murder Bruno's father. As Bruno carries out his twisted plan, Guy finds himself trapped in Highsmith's perilous world, where, under the right circumstances, ordinary people are capable of extraordinary crimes. The inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1951 film, Strangers on a Train launched Highsmith's prolific career, proving her a master at depicting the unsettling forces that tremble beneath the surface of everyday life., In this mesmerizing novel] . . . not to be recommended for the weak-minded and impressionable (Washington Post), we encounter Guy Haines, a successful architect in the midst of a divorce, and Charles Anthony Bruno, a conniving psychopath who manipulates a chance encounter with Guy into a sadistic plot to swap murders. Some people are better off dead, says Bruno, like your wife and my father, for instance. As Bruno carries out his twisted plan, Guy becomes trapped in Patricia Highsmith s perilous world, where under the right circumstances anyone is capable of murder. Still her most iconic novel, Strangers on a Train elicits the menace that lurks in familiar surroundings (Time) and the unsettling forces that tremble beneath the surface of everyday life.", "Strangers on a Train has lost none of its power to disturb...We will likely be reading Patricia Highsmith for the next one hundred years." --Paula Hawkins, Just in time for the centennial celebration of groundbreaking noir fiction writer Patricia Highsmith comes a reissue of her propulsive, engrossing debut, Strangers on a Train , with a new introduction by best-selling author Paula Hawkins.
