That Patricia Highsmith quote reminded me about the time I watched one of those 90s thrillers about two young men, high class snobby college students who wanted to commit a Perfect Murder and then get found out by a detective who gives the usual note about the One Big Mistake, and I was just old enough at that point to reflect and think "Aren't there unsolved murders all the time? Wouldn't the perfect murder just be going to a high crime statistical area and randomly shooting someone?"
Loving all the Highsmith in this! And not just because you mentioned my post. Thanks for that!
