My 13yo son just pointed something out.
We authors all say weβd be in trouble if the authorities monitored our search history.
But itβs the people who write murder mysteries WITHOUT Googling anything who you really need to be concerned about. π³π³π³
@WindwalkerWrite
Because, frighteningly enough, my 13yo is showing strong signs of being smarter than all the rest of us combined. (And I'm not at ALL biased.)
@CBethAnderson
Does it make me more normal if I haven't Googled it but I've seen every Snapped, Law & Order, serial killer documentary, and all other manner of kill them all/death show? I've been researching with snacks for years.
@CBethAnderson
This reminds me of the time my sister asked my father what to do if she found a body and he started to walk her through the steps of how to dispose of it.
Umm... what??
@KateMacAuthor
Youβve already told me enough previously to make it clear your parents were effective serial killers in the past. But it does sound like theyβre really NICE serial killers. πππππ
@CBethAnderson
Don't agree exactly - people who write murder mysteries don't commit murders
Okay Ted Kaczynski mailed out bombs - but that seems to be the only way he could get his opus published
BTW Agatha Christie never googled anything
@CBethAnderson
Editor confirmed!
An of us can tell you stories about the weird things we've Googled when fact-checking a fictional murder. How long until a body is dissolved in sulfuric acid? Can a victim's liver be seen after a knife wound? Can I poison someone with cherry pits?

My forensics course in college made me 2 things: annoying during crime dramas and terrifying from overheard conversations. I'm sure I'm on a watch list some where.
