Violet’s Kindle Notes & Highlights for Gallery of the Dead (Robert Hunter, #9)

Within 2 pages I now want to cry, this is exactly what I used to do with my old boy

Typical female rationale and pretty good going for a man to envision as men don’t seem to care about potbelly’s from beer, where us girls will forgo food as it’s fattening, then guzzle down some wine that’s just as.. I’m not going to do an emoji, but pretend there is an eye roll right here >

Serial killer - will never stop, not until he is, and he usually has a style of victim, a way of killing that’s personal and also is generally either a psychopath or a sociopath. Spree - something kicked them off, and they’re running with it, usually kind of literally but with cars, and they also generally won’t stop until they’re made to and females are more common in spree than serial. Mass - think killing on a grand scale, the Las Vegas shooter, school shootings, killing their entire family and I don’t mean just mum and dad. Something happened that made them snap in a way that all they want to do is kill as many as possible, can have illusions of grandeur where it seems to them this is what seems ‘fair’ or is justified retribution.

You don’t do this much your first time, first timers are more like virgins, make mistakes, overly anxious and often do it to someone known to them then run away and spend however long equally fantasizing about it, and picking faults, so that they do it better the next time.

That is every single sociopath or psychopaths undoing, the ones who get caught at least, they think they’re too clever, and like anyone else, in this aspect at least, they want praise, they want to be on the news, in the paper, and the only way to do that, is to draw attention to what they’re doing, and with that, we’re right back at the beginning again, their undoing ...
