À propos de cet audio

Ray Garrett, a wealthy young American living in Europe, is grieving over the death of his wife. Ray is at a loss for why she would take her own life, but Peggy's father, Ed Coleman, has no such uncertainty - he blames Ray completely.

Late one night in Rome, Coleman shoots Ray at point-blank range. He thinks he's had his revenge, but Ray survives and follows Coleman and his wealthy girlfriend to Venice.

In Venice, it happens again: Coleman attacks his loathed son-in-law, dumping him into the cold waters of the laguna. Ray survives with the help of a boatman - and this time he goes into hiding, living in a privately rented room under a fake name. So begins an eerie game of cat and mouse. Coleman wants vengeance, Ray wants a clear conscience, and the police want to solve the mystery of what happened to the missing American.

As Ray and Coleman stalk each other through the narrow streets and canals, the hotels and bars of the beguiling city, Those Who Walk Away becomes a literary thriller that simmers with violence and unease from the acclaimed author of such classics as Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr. Ripley.

Patricia Highsmith is a legend in the genre of “psychological thriller” but this book, as with the later books in the Ripley series, makes me question if she understand human psychology at all. The choices the characters make in this book just don’t make sense to me, and the plotting of the cat and mouse games are entirely dependent on the general assumption that most people react ambivalently (and don’t report to police) when they suspect their friends/lovers/close associates of serious criminal acts.

Implausible scenario/psychology
