This is undoubtedly a psychological novel, but I found the long stretches of wallowing hard to endure. The characters are well drawn, in their psychology and their physicality, and Highsmith knows how to turn up the tension and surprise. Despite wishing some sections would hurry along, I did enjoy it and am encouraged to read more Patricia Highsmith.
