Patricia Highsmith's work is always so jarring in its sparseness. She manages to use very simply language to heighten the tenseness of the characters or the scene. The Glass Cell is a perfect example of her technique. Gripping, moving, tense, suspenseful...it's all there. My only issue with this one was that I had a hard time believing that Carter wouldn't haven't divorced Hazel, and/or wouldn't have told Sullivan to F*** Off, and/or wouldn't have stopping seeing and speaking to Gawill.
