Synopsis "Cuchillo, El (in Spanish)"

Por que esta Walter Stackhouse tan fascinado por el asesinato de Helen Kimmel? Ha recortado el articulo del periodico sobre el crimen, piensa visitar al marido de la victima, y puede que hasta escriba un ensayo sobre el hecho. Que le seduce en la violenta muerte de una respetable mujer de la clase media? Tal vez la posibilidad de que sea su marido el asesino? Walter es un joven y prometedor abogado; esta mas o menos felizmente casado con Clara, la mujer que ama, y viven en una hermosa casa de un barrio residencial. Una vida perfecta para la pareja ideal? Quiza si no fuera porque Clara se las ha arreglado para separarle de sus amigos, y a veces parece amar a su perro que a su marido Y si Mrs. Kimmel hubiese sido una mujer como Clara? Por que no ir a visitar a su marido, el hipotetico asesino? Aunque tal vez la pregunta que Walter deberia hacerse fuera: por que no mirarse en aquel espejo de sus deseos mas ocultos? Por que no matar a Clara? / Though he has been a faithful and supportive husband, Walter harbors gruesome fantasies about the demise of his distant, neurotic wife, Clara. When her body turns up at the bottom of a cliff, resembling the recent death of a woman who was murdered by her husband, Walter finds himself under intense scrutiny.
