A Female Psychopathic Killer

This is a Leonberger blog but sometimes I post about books that are not about Leonbergers but that are other types of books I love and want to promote. This book is an intriguing thriller about a beautiful female psychopathic killer by the name Marie, and it is told from her perspective. It is both creepy and amusing at the same time as well as unique and definitely a page turner. I guess you can say it is lighthearted horror but above all a good story. The author, Sara Flower Kjeldsen, has expertise in psychology, which makes the story more realistic.

Amazon Description of Marie

Marie has always been a violent girl. She has no remorse for those she kills. Once she takes out her husband, she will have everything she has ever wanted. That is until the pool boy gets in her way. After she kills him, something strange happens. Psychopaths aren’t supposed to feel guilt. She doesn’t care about anyone. So why is her latest victim haunting her dreams? Marie is the story of a stunning young woman who is forced to face her own heartlessness.

My Amazon Review of Marie

Is she going to kill him? That depends. Did he see her face?

Marie is a psychopath. Her range of emotions is limited. She feels no compassion, no love, she has no conscience, she is fearless, selfish and greedy, and she feels superior to people with normal feelings, which she considers to be stupid, weak and irritating. In addition, she has a sadistic streak. She is a proud beautiful trophy wife with a boring normal but rich husband. He is in love, but she is using him, the great manipulator that she is. She hides her inner craziness very skillfully and fools everyone. One day Brad, the pool boy catches her drowning a bunny rabbit in the pool for her own amusement after finding a paper with her plot to murder her husband. He realizes she is mentally sick and offers to find her a psychiatrist at the college where he studies. Well, what do you think will happen to Brad?

The author has expertise in psychology, so this is a realistic depiction of a female psychopath, but what makes it even more interesting is that the story is told from the perspective of Marie. Usually, you don’t get to be inside the head of the psychopath, the focus is on the victims, for example, as in the movie No Country for Old Men (Anton Chigurh). The story is both creepy and amusing at the same time. Marie is undoubtedly evil, but she is funny and clever. Can a psychopath be cured? Perhaps not in a conventional sense but strange things can happen. I loved this story. It was very engaging, fast-paced, entertaining and full of surprises. I highly recommend this page turner.

The second blog, superfactful, feature information and facts I think are very interesting. With this blog I would like to create a list of facts that are accepted as true among the experts of the field and yet disputed amongst the public or highly surprising. These facts are special and in lieu of a better word I call them super-facts.

  13. I love this review! She is a scary one if you get in her way. Poor Brad. I feel bad for him, but at least he got to “haunt” her in the end, and in his own way help her seek some help. I am glad you found it amusing in addition to being creepy. I very much appreciate your readership.

  18. HI Thomas, I have only read one book that is told from the perspective of a psychotic serial killer. I recall wondering at the time how a writer gets into the mind of that type of person and whether it impacts said writer at all. I do enjoy this genre of fiction so I’ve put this on my list.

    1. Thank you so much Robbie. I think you can read about it, the psychology of psychopaths. I remember reading about psychopaths and narcissists on Sara’s blog. She’s been studying the topic. She’s also wrote a lot of books on other topics, for example, about female gun slingers who were traumatized when young. Now they are tough women defending themselves and others (but not psychopaths).

      1. Yes, I understand your comment about female gun slingers. I considered getting a gun after our home invasion. I had a gun at my head. I decided against it because if you hesitate to use a gun in a situation it will be used against you and I’m not sure I could shoot someone …

        1. Wow that is a truly crazy and very scary situation. I am so sorry that happened to you. That is very traumatizing. Yes unfortunately, you have to be ready to shoot if needed if you are pointing a gun at someone or it will be used against you. You need to make that decision before you get one. We have six guns in a safe in the garage but for hunting, which aren’t doing any more. I am not sure having them in a safe would help during a home invasion.

  20. Sounds interesting! I don’t read a lot of serial killer stuff. I read Red Dragon a long time ago, and more recently, My Sister the Serial Killer, but those only got into the killer’s head sideways at best.

    1. It was an interesting take on the topic. Like most psychologists are saying, Anton Chigurrh was a very realistic depiction of a psychopath, but imagine if you could have seen No Country for Old Men from his perspective.
