I've been reading some very strange books lately:
What if you found out a close friend or family member (could be your significant other) killed someone and got away with it? What if they did it to protect you?

Getting Away With It

After I wrapped my head around it (and stopped shaking) I truly don't know how I would react.
ReplyDeleteNeither did the main character in the novel I read. It was a bit much for her, too.
DeleteBased on the first sentence: I'd have to report it. No murderer should "get away with it," and I wouldn't want someone who kills in my circle of family or friends! Based on the second: To save me sounds like it was in my defense, so they should admit it and if justice works as it should, they'd be fine. If they tried to keep it quiet, that's a red flag for me. I just don't want a killer in my midst!
ReplyDeleteReasonable.
DeleteI'd have to report it as I couldn't live with knowing it and doing nothing.
ReplyDeleteI'd guess that'll be a popular response.
DeleteThis is truly tricky, Liz. At least initially I won't know how to react. But I would be very uncomfortable knowing that someone close to me is a killer.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, If they killed someone in self defence and if the person was ready to rape me and was a known serial killer, I believe I would keep it mum. This is a quandary but if the person killed for money or robbery, I would speak out. It depends on what truly happened.
