But they tend to be the hands-off type. They prefer to make plans, lay traps and manipulate (or order) others into committing the crimes.<br /><br />That being said, I love mysteries, especially Agatha Christie, so when I try writing in this genre, the killers are more hands-on.Marian Pererahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700524210146863718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9041114671058714018.post-45834808368432297172012-03-03T04:11:16.015+00:002012-03-03T04:11:16.015+00:00I don't... but mostly because I write MG. Not ...I don't... but mostly because I write MG. Not that you can't have killers in MG, it just has to be handled much more carefully. I totally love it in novels I read, though! Especially if it's a character I'm really invested in. I guess it's the ultimate conflict. :)Peggy Eddlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241451940725996650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9041114671058714018.post-36430712907711671662012-02-28T14:51:06.438+00:002012-02-28T14:51:06.438+00:00Um... no.

I think the idea of a killer intrigues the norm because they are so far removed from our own conscious...or at least we think so. In some cases, we understand and sometimes support why killers do what they do (avenge), and that's what really scares us. Or maybe I'm the only nutcase who can cheer on a killer who is avenging the death of his tortured spouse and/or children.

I do have killers in my books, but I write urban fantasy so they tend to be otherworldly. :Dali crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023009704454279645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9041114671058714018.post-66309168292960732392012-02-27T18:55:57.352+00:002012-02-27T18:55:57.352+00:00Also a thriller writer, killers are usually essent...Also a thriller writer, killers are usually essential to a good plot. And there are so many ways one can murder another: poison, strangulation, stabbing, guns, "accidents", hire-for-kill, drowning, etc. Then you get to have fun with the motivation for the killing. I enjoy this, too. Hmm... Maybe we're not right in the head.Everett Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447056422273768436noreply@blogger.com
