Ripley

Re-reading Ripley Under Water again. First read it around 1978, then when The Talented Mr. Ripley with Matt Daemon premiered.. that was 1999.

About 2010 I decided to watch every Ripley-movie I could find.. among them: Ripleys Game (from 2002) and Ripley Under Ground (from 2005). I also re-read the complete book-series.

There was also some quite good BBC-radio theatre adaptations. I always felt that Richmal Cromptons William is the boy who grew up to be Ripley.

Books
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1955)
Ripley Under Ground (1970)
Ripley’s Game (1974)
The Boy Who Followed Ripley (1980)
Ripley Under Water (1991)

Two books I will have to write myself: Ripley Under Fire and Ripley's Heir
