Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Talented Mr. Ripley follows a young man named Tom, whose deep-seated jealousy and ambition leads him down a very dark path. He wants the jet-set lifestyle his trust-fund friends are living, and he sets out to get it using his intelligence and skill at deception. Tom Ripley is a pretty realistic depiction of a psychopath. To get close to the wealthy people he envies, he puts on a convincing mask of helpful friendliness. But underneath, he’s scheming with every breath—biding his time. And no one is safe around him. Join us for the story of a real-life Mr. Ripley, a man who was good at being charming, but bad at being good. A man who left one person dead, one heartbroken and defrauded, and a pretty little town in shock. Join us for the true story behind the BBC drama The Sixth Commandment--the tale of an aspiring vicar whose pious exterior hid a heart of darkness. <b></b><br /><br />Download the game "June's Journey" on Apple iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/junes-journey-hidden-objects/id1200391796<br /><br />"June's Journey" on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.wooga.junes_journey_hidden_object_mystery_game&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=US&amp;pli=1<br /><br />Sources:<br />A Plot to Kill by David Wilson<br />ITV News: https://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2019-08-09/sadistic-killer-admitted-interest-in-the-extremes-of-death<br />Daily Beast, Nico Hines: https://www.thedailybeast.com/gaslight-killer-ben-field-who-conned-his-elderly-lovers-is-convicted-of-murdering-peter-farquhar<br />Bucks Herald, Sam Dean: https://www.bucksherald.co.uk/must-read/ben-field-the-baptist-ministers-son-who-became-a-calculated-and-manipulative-murderer-in-maids-moreton-821818<br />UK Daily Mail, Rory Tingle and Josh White: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6984549/Church-warden-callously-videoed-hallucinating-lecturer-trying-murder.html<br /><br />Follow us, campers!<br />Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): <a href="https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfire" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfire</a><br /><a href="https://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/</a><br />Facebook: True Crime Campfire<br />Instagram: <a href="https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079</a><br />Twitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfire<br />Email: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.com<br />MERCH! <a href="https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.com</a>
