Tom Ripley detested murder. Unless it was absolutely necessary. If possible, he preferred someone else to do the dirty work. In this case someone with no criminal record, who would commit 'two simple murders' for a very generous fee. . . .

Such a breather to sway the story from the Tom's POV to a fresh one. That was a fresh air after the blatant deeds of the second part. Shame that Ripley's game destroyed Jon's life, or did it
