Title: Put this book in the water and flush!
Review: After thoroughly enjoying two other "Ripley" adventures, ("The Talented Mr. Ripley", and "Ripley Under Ground"), I was extremely disappointed with this effort. The protagonists are not particularly believable or compelling, and the plot is contrived. The author's attempt to build tension or suspense fails miserably, and the climax is disappointing. Avoid this book unless you enjoy descriptive passages of the lovely baubels that the idle rich treat themselves to.
