Malice Aforethought: The Story of a Commonplace Crime

Bickleigh soothes his inferiority complex by seducing as many of the local women as he possibly can - but with the collapse of his latest fling and a fresh dose of sneering contempt from Julia, the doctor resolves to silence his wife forever and begins plotting the perfect murder.
