I have no doubt in my mind that he killed his own girlfriend. it was no freak accident. he didnt have care and compassion but a drive for recognition, control, and greed. if you stepped out of the line, he put you back in the line or took you permanently out of the line.
what doesn't fully make sense to me is what brought him to that place. I dont get the sense there was abuse or neglect by the parents so it wasnt the desire for control in a life that was uncontrollable. did he just have ASPD? psychopathic tendencies and behaviors? not sure 🤨
what i did appreciate was the portrayal of addiction. relationships do get strained and end up no contact for some people. that desire to use when things get progressively more stressful and unbearable. it's unsurprising that she almost relapsed after not finding her dad. what was surprising was
her brother being understanding - that addiction should be treated carefully and with basic needs being met to reduce life stress that often makes people use. I'm glad that the sisters redeveloped their relationship but I wish we had seen it. it felt strange that it was miraculously mended
Anyway 🤷♂️ onto more books. Hopefully, the next murder mystery/thriller is more compelling!
