The Trickster

I cannot believe Tom is trying to pull of being both Tom and Dickie. It is always such a suspenseful moment when we read about a predicament Tom get his himself into where he has to act as a certain person and is not prepared. Even though I have read the novel before and know how the story ends, I am always held at anticipation to see when he’ll get caught. With the plot being so twisted between the three different cases that Tom is involved in, it’s hard not to believe Tom will get caught in the act. Highsmith has developed such a strong plot that the possibilities of when and where Tom will get caught are endless.
