Beautiful Lies by Lisa Unger

On page 369, Ridley says, "We don't have control, we have choices," and on page 371, she says, "In life there are only good and bad choices. And sometimes even choices can only be judged by their consequences. And sometimes not even then."


Is it really as simple as a matter of choice? How would any of the characters agree or disagree with these ideas?

Nightlife by Thomas Perry


Tanya Starling seems to kill for two reasons - for the thrill of it, but also to avoid being caught. Is she more dangerous than other serial killers since she is a woman and doesn't look like a killer? Or perhaps because she doesn't have an established modus operandi?
