Excellent start to analyzing this book, one of my favorites in the series. Very interesting info regarding Bundy, someone who I've studied about somewhat. Agreed with you on Strike and Lucy, he was being rather blunt, though it seems it was out of frustration. Two-Times really comes off as super annoying.

I taught forensic psychology for 15 years or so. Bundy was always the prototypical psychopath.

Happy to be revisiting TB with you! Thanks for the writeup of Ted Bundy and Creed - those are striking similarities!

I always thought Strike's comment about his nephews, while somewhat impolitic, wasn't all that egregious. People shouldn't expect everyone to like their kids... And, as we all know, don't ask questions you don't want the answers to!

In what ways? Seen a lot of crime shows, such as Criminal Minds, and the like.
