Carregando... Deep Water (1957)de Patricia Highsmith
  
Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. This is the first book I have read of this author, and I was fascinated and liked it a lot. It is a murder mystery in which we learn pretty quickly "who done it," and the question is will that person be found out. It is very well-written. (  ) RickGeissal | Aug 16, 2023 |  Vintage Highsmith. Unlikable couples in a small New England town, stay silent while a toxic couple hate each other. For Highsmith fans, this is a good read. (  ) kjuliff | Mar 19, 2023 | Pretty much great. Wife flaunts her affairs in front of husband and he acquiesces mildly - or does he? The book charts this undercurrent of resentment/anger building up to violent encounters. Author does a neat trick of presenting the husband as sympathetically as possible for almost the entire book, but then causing the reader to wonder if we are sympathizing with a psychotic figure. Great. (  ) apende | Jul 12, 2022 |  tamaranth | May 24, 2022 | Vic gilt als etwas merkwürdig, aber auch als freundlich und tolerant. Etwas zu tolerant ist er (so finden jedenfalls seine Freunde) gegenüber seiner jungen Frau Melinda, die immer wieder neue Liebhaber ins Haus bringt. Nur die Tatsache, dass diese Männer ihm nicht das Wasser reichen können, scheint ihn zu irritieren. Doch stille Wasser gründen tief. Fredo68 | May 14, 2020 | sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

HTML: Now a major motion picture starring Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas Vic and Melinda Van Allen's loveless marriage is held together only by a precarious arrangement whereby, in order to avoid the messiness of divorce, Melinda is allowed to take any number of lovers as long as she does not desert her family. Eventually, Vic can no longer suppress his jealousy and tries to win back his wife by asserting himself through a tall tale of murderâ??one that soon comes true. In this complex portrayal of a dangerous psychosis emerging in the most unlikely of places, Highsmith examines the chilling reality behind the idyllic facade of American suburban life.
