Revue de presse :
It's brilliant (Paula Hawkins)
THE CRIME WRITER represents an astonishing act of literary ventriloquism, easily on a par with THE MASTER, Colm Tóibín's fine novel about Henry James. (Craig Brown Mail on Sunday)
Ventriloquy is Dawson's forte . . . this fascinating, skilfully constructed novel builds a convincing picture of Patricia Highsmith (Andrew Taylor Spectator)
You do not need to be a passionate Highsmith fan to admire this beautifully written and elegant novel, but I think it will particularly appeal to those who have read her books and know something about her life; they should recognise many of the allusions and ideas (Jessica Mann Literary Review)
An ingenious concept . . . Dawson can be applauded for her passionate immersion in her subject, and for creating a novel as dark and odd as the subject herself. (Joanna Briscoe Guardian)
A beautifully crafted and utterly riveting blend of fact and fiction about a fascinating 20th-century figure. (Carla McKay Daily Mail)
Dawson has drawn a witty, creepy plot as well as a convincing character sketch of a woman all too easy to caricature (Jake Kerridge Daily Telegraph)
Dawson skilfully constructs a dark tale that Highsmith fans will love (Nick Rennison Sunday Times)
A dark tale of madness and murder, of obsession and delusion, that's worthy of Highsmith herself (Sarra Manning Red)
An assured and visceral page-turner, as convincing as it is bold (Stephanie Cross Lady)

In 1964, the eccentric American novelist Patricia Highsmith is hiding out in a cottage in Suffolk to concentrate on her writing and escape her fans. She has another motive too - a secret romance with a married lover based in London. But her lover keeps failing to visit, a stalker seems to be on her trail and after a young woman claiming to be a journalist comes to interview her, events take a catastrophic turn. Or do they? As ever in Highsmith's troubled life, perhaps matters are not quite as they first appear . . .
Masterfully recreating Highsmith's fantasies of murder and madness, Jill Dawson probes the darkest reaches of the human imagination in this novel - at once a brilliant portrait of a writer and an atmospheric, emotionally charged, riveting tale.
Jill Dawson is the author of eight novels, including Fred and Edie, which was shortlisted for the Whitbread Novel Award and the Orange Prize, The Great Lover and, most recently, The Tell-Tale Heart. An award-winning poet, she has also edited six anthologies of poetry and short stories.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In 1964, the eccentric American novelist Patricia Highsmith is hiding out in a cottage in Suffolk in order to concentrate on her writing. She has other motives too - a secret romance with a married woman based in London and her dislike of the fame and attention that has followed her since her first novel was made into a Hitchcock film and her fourth, The Talented Mr Ripley, was published to such acclaim. Unfortunately it soon becomes clear that Pat is not alone: all her demons have come with her. Prowlers, sexual obsessives, frauds, imposters, suicides and murderers: the tropes of her fictions clamour for her attention, rudely intruding on her peaceful Suffolk retreat. After the arrival of Ginny, an enigmatic young journalist who would like to interview her, events begin to turn catastrophically dark, ending in a fatal accident. Except, as always in Pat's troubled and eventful life, perhaps things are not as they seem.Jill Dawson is renowned for her novels revisiting known stories and famous figures, such as the wildboy of Aveyron, the poet Rupert Brooke or, in her Orange Prize-shorlisted novel FRED AND EDIE, the hanged murderess Edith Thompson. Here she fuses biographical facts about Highsmith's life with audacious recreations of Highsmith's much exercised fantasies of murder, madness and revenge. The result is a sexy, dazzling tale that touches the darkest reaches of the human imagination. By the Orange Prize-shortlisted Jill Dawson, a riveting novel that folds a brilliant portrait of Patricia Highsmith into a tale of duplicity, madness and murder.
