Characters I Never Want to Meet #L&SR #Wednesday Blog Challenge 4.10.19
Let me preface this topic with that fact that I have an over active imagination. Any television show I watch or book I read gets replayed over in my mind as I sleep. I tend to add my own circumstances I may have wondered about at the time of watching or reading. Consequently, I try to stay away from stimulus that will give me nightmares and cause me to leave every light on in the house all night. Hubby complains about the light bill when this happens. LOL So….
That being said, my first choice for a character I never want to meet is:
***The Serial Killer in Stephen B. King’s Glimpse, Memoir of a Serial Killer –
In 1999 Australia, Sergeant Rick McCoy investigates the murder of a woman found packed inside a suitcase.
The Killer abducts another victim and threatens to dismember her slowly. His life is further complicated by a marriage in tatters. Frustrated at every turn, he is paired with glamorous Criminal Psychologist and profiler, Patricia Holmes.
While trying to rebuild his marriage, he finds himself in a desperate race against time to free the victim and fight his desire for his new partner.
***The second book in the series Glimpse, The Beautiful Deaths is ranked right up there with the first I would not want to meet the man responsible for the beautiful deaths.
Meanwhile, in the high-security wing of the mental health hospital, PPP plans his revenge on Rick. book. Don’t want to meet the man responsible for The Beautiful Deaths.
Read these well-written tales at your own risk! There you’ve been warned.
**I’d definitely not meet the Russian Mob Character, Alexi (I believe his name was) who catches Liz, a 16 year old girl’s attention in Nora Roberts book The Witness. He was a cold blooded killer and relentless. After twelve years, he still hunts her and finally… Well, you need to read the book to find out what happens. I did manage to finish this book without sky-rocketing the electric bill. LOL
There you have it, a few characters I would not want to meet. I’m interested to know some of the characters you wouldn’t want to meet. If you have a moment list them in the comments!

Hehehehe, yes you would not want to meet PPP, especially if you’ve been an adulterer (he hates people who have done that) On the other hand, Gordon, as Patricia Holmes nicknames him in Book 2, well if you met him, you’d love him to bits. Unless of course you were beautiful, then he would want to collect you.
But, if you think they are bad……..wait until Book 3, Glimpse, The Tender Killer, and meet Jolly – he is without doubt scary.
Thank you so much, Tena for featuring these two books, I had a massive smile on my face when your newsletter popped up into my in box.
Glad you enjoyed my blog on characters I wouldn’t want to meet. Since I don’t read scary books, your two were the only ones I’ve checked out in a long time. Yep, electric bill went up during the reading. LOL Have a great week!
Thanks for the suggestions!
I like mysteries and police procedurals…serial killers are usually too much for me, but if it’s well written I can handle it.
HI Echo
Thanks for stopping by. It’s not for me to say if my books are well written, but I promise its as well written as I can make it. Serial killer books are not everyone’s cup of tea, I completely understand, and these books are dark. But what makes them (I hope) different, is I try to give the reader an insight into what makes them what they are. If every do have a read, I’d love to know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by Echo! I agree serial killers are too much but Stephen’s books are kinda different and good.
Alexi sounds quite scary! I’d definitely not want to meet him.
My post.
Exactly my point! Thanks for stopping by!
I haven’t read the first two books, but they sound right up my alley, thanks!! Nora Roberts has created some really creepy villains in her rom/susp single titles. The Witness was one of my faves. Good choices all!
