And when you read what Bekker gets up to, it’s really easy to tell that he’s the psycho. It makes me nuts when authors toss these labels around without thought, so please note the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath - one is worse than the other. LOL, that scene where the reporter in the very short skirt gets up on a chair and the cops sit down around her… Nice to know the cops are just guys *she says laughing* It makes me think of how Maisie Dobbs uses her techniques of observation to determine innocence, guilt, fear, happiness, etc. Bekker’s social organization of death is one of those, and yet as I read Sandford’s “explanation”, it makes perfect sense on a very sensitive topic. I don’t know why I’m ever amazed at the things humans can come up with to study. When you think of how much time Loverboy took to remove all traces of his presence while his lover is dying in the kitchen. Jesus, when you read the report on the forensics at the crime scene. Sandford also talks about how Lucas develops his video games, which I find interesting. I am absolutely dying to read Silent Prey next! I gotta know what happens!! A truth that gets still worse when you get to the end.
A truth that only gets worse as she lies dying, helpless when help is available. The amount of surveillance that he must have done, only to be horror-struck when we learn the truth. I’d been so impressed with how much Bekker knew about the victim-to-be. This one uses the plot from Strangers on a Train, a fact that isn’t obvious until that first kill, and Sandford leads us into it beautifully. It only takes a tug, and you can unroll the ball of possibilities in so many different directions. It is fascinating to see how far Sandford takes Bekker’s obsession. Do not read too much into all of what he says…some of it develops much later. This one, in particular, is very useful for writers as Sandford talks about how the gruesome bits developed, the questions he asked himself. They add an extra depth - and horror - to the story I’m reading. It’s more of a hit-or-miss, if I’m in the mood kind of thing, yet I’m finding Sandford’s introductions interesting.
