Ripley just gets away with it and has disappeared, with money or does he stay right in his house and the inspector will obviously come get him?

good point, but somehow I thought it was a stand alone. I guess we wait.

Looks like he get away with it, the way it's shot with him reading out the letters of his name cut with him sat smirking self satisfied was a bit Usual Suspects

In the movie and the book, he does "get away with it" and goes on to more sociopathy in future novels. But, that doesn't mean that there aren't those who know what he's done, and that could come back to haunt him.

It would have taken months for Marge's book to be published, so Ripley had plenty of time to pack up his Picasso and disappear. He was smart enough to realize that living as Tom Ripley would be extremely risky.

And anyway, back in 2015, the producers of Ripley were reportedly planning to adapt all 5 Ripley books for TV. So hopefully there are several more seasons in development.
