Books -- Author's skill leaves us rooting for the twisted protagonist -- The first thing that strikes me before I even start to read this accomplished literary thriller by Henrietta McKervey is the echo, even in the title, of Patricia Highsmith's gripping yarn The Talented Mr Ripley. Secondly, I'm struck by the recent resurgence of interest in Bram Stoker, with Joseph O'Connor's brilliant reimagining of the life of Stoker in Shadowplay and Kiran Millwood Hargraves' YA feminist retelling of The Brides of Dracula in The Deathless Girls. It's a brave enterprise for McKervey to venture into such well-trodden territory, but A Talented Man, McKervey's fourth novel, does not disappoint.2 days ago
