Ripley Recap: Death in Palermo
This whole murder investigation is starting to really annoy Tom.
A man called Enzo looks the inspector up to tell him he’d seen two men — Tom and an already-dead Freddie — struggling into a car late at night in his neighborhood, and though at first, he hadn’t thought much of it, with news of the murder he figured he might’ve seen something important. Questioned by Inspector Ravini (who is completely out of breath) in Atrani and later in Rome, Marge doesn’t mince words about her impression of the missing Tom Ripley: He is the “kind of person who takes advantage of other people” and of Dickie especially, not to mention that lying is “his profession,” and she wouldn’t be surprised if he had something to do with Freddie’s death. “Macabre Entertainment” does justice to the Ripley spirit: It manages to cover a lot of plot details without losing the specificity and the narrative tension that keep our attention trained on Tom’s perverse logic.
