By (author): Patricia Highsmith

The Blunderer was written by Highsmith in between Strangers on a Train and The Talented 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 found at the bottom of a cliff. 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. See more

About Patricia Highsmith

Patricia Highsmith (1921-1995) was born in Fort Worth Texas. Her first novel Strangers on a Train was made into a classic film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. The Talented Mr Ripley published in 1955 introduced the fascinating anti-hero Tom Ripley and was made into an Oscar-winning film in 1999 by Anthony Minghella. Graham Greene called Patricia Highsmith 'the poet of apprehension' saying that she 'created a world of her own - a world claustrophobic and irrational which we enter each time with a sense of personal danger'. Patricia Highsmith died in Locarno Switzerland in February 1995. Her last novel Small g: A Summer Idyll was published posthumously the same year.
