Netflix have a mini series adaptation of The Talented Mr Ripley.
Just finished it. Absolutely fantastic.

Looking forward to this. Currently on S03 of Slow Horses which has a great story line.

Just watched through to s1e3. Production values are excellent. It sticks to the book. Dakota is miscast, Marge (at least in mind) was a bit frumpy. The 2 boys are good, although again in my mind Ripley was tall slender and young, not AS' rather older, stocky shape. Neither matters much they both play their parts well.

My wife usually reads nasty thrillers and police procedurals, I was amazed to hear she hadn't read the books. I expect she will now.
