Oh, what to do, what to do, when you find out a read you have been enjoying so far does have some major anachronisms in it and basically uses a similar plot-hook as another favourite book by a different author?
I guess, I’m just being picky. This is fiction after all, and never pretended to be anything else… Still I need more tea and my blankie.

Sack it and call it out for the “whatever” it is…

Haha. It’s still a much better book than many others I’ve read this year. 🙂
It would work fine if I hadn’t read the Highsmith biography just a few months ago.

Yeah, I’d hate to be an author in this day and age. so many people putting out so many ideas, commonality is bound to happen.

There’s a timing error. The plot mentions something happening in the early sixties, that didn’t happen until later. It’s to do with the revelation of a nom de plume. Highsmith did not acknowldge the pen name until 1990, tho it may have been known by a few select people in 1970. It certainly was not common knowledge at the time that the book is set (1964-ish).
