The Blunderer was written by Highsmith in between Strangers on a Train and The T
alented Mr Ripley. The novel follows the young, successful and handsome, Walter
Stackhouse who seems to have it all, that is, until the day his wife's body is f
ound at the bottom of a cliff. Under the intense scrutiny of the investigation h
e commits one mistake, then another, until - in true Highsmithian fashion - Walt
er 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 inc
reasingly life-threatening blunders.
