YORKER For two years  the young  successful and handsome Walter Stackhouse has been a faithful
and supportive husband to his wife  Clara. She is distant and neurotic  and Walter finds
himself harbouring gruesome fantasies about her demise. Then Clara's dead body turns up at the
bottom of a cliff in a manner uncannily resembling the recent death of a woman named Helen
Kimmel who was murdered by her husband. Under the intense scrutiny of the investigation he
commits one mistake  then another  until - in true Highsmithian fashion - Walter finds his
perfect life derailed. Now Walter is running from the obsessions of the murderer  and the
suspicions of the lead cop  not to mention his own increasingly life-threatening blunders.The
Blunderer examines the dark obsessions that lie beneath the surface of seemingly ordinary
people. With unerring psychological insight  Patricia Highsmith portrays characters who cross
the precarious line separating fantasy from reality.
