1. The main piece? I didn't know bodies were assembled in pieces. Also, this just makes me think of a body disassembled like a puzzle. Nitpicky.
2. *mumbling that "serial killer doesn't equal sociopath, and vice versa"*
3. Are they wearing booties, at least? They better. Also, if this isn't in St. Louis, why the fuck did people wait until they got there to process the crime scene?
4. Or maybe the other cops have gotten all THEY could gleam from the evidence, or were told to stand down by whoever is in charge of the investigation so that their going over the scene didn't do anything to mess up signs these preternatural US Marshals can see. Or, maybe they've been there for fucking hours waiting for you and are literally just tired of staring at the same thing. I'm sure they all have better things to do. Like, y'know, solving the case because I highly doubt you will in this book. You never do anymore work that doesn't involve sex. And you're not boinking Podward.
I AM SO TIRED OF POSSIBLE CRIMES WHEN THEY GET NO PAGE-TIME IN THE BOOKS, PLOT-WISE.
5. On a body, literally? Or upon seeing a horribly disfigured body? Because if it's the former, you really contaminated evidence and I'm really glad the St. Louis PD haven't let you live that down. Your gastric juices and stomach contents could seriously fuck with things. Good job. However, if it's the latter, I doubt that's the case. Almost every rookie cop pukes on his first trip to a morgue, or upon seeing a particularly grisly scene on call, and no one makes fun of them. Or if so, not for long. They just don't care.
6. *rolls eyes* Anita, dude, the Bro Code is the Bro Code because girls can't really be part of it. We can know the Code, but we're never going to be a Bro. Just sticking to the Code is only going to really get you guy friends. Well, it would if you didn't immediately fuck them all. Or talk-down to/about the ones you didn't fuck. Or weren't a complete bitch. So go ahead, use the Bro Code and feel like a Bro. I may have gotten addicted to typing "Bro".
7. Has anyone ever wondered how she moves comfortably with a not-quite machete along her spine? It's almost like having a back-brace on or something, but in sharp pointy weapon form. She can't really twist, or it'll dig into her back. She certainly can't bend over or it'll stick out weird. The most she can do is stand at attention and sit up straight.
8. Wait. Assassins. Aren't they supposed to be like, y'know, sneaky? Inconspicuous? So why the fuck is one chopping up bodies in to puzzle pieces and then taking the heart away "as a trophy" (quotes because it's Anita speculation). Shouldn't the Harlequin just be using blow darts and poison and.. fuck, logic. I'm trying to logic again. Stop it.
9. "like a disorganized killer with maybe an organized partner directing". Okay, stop it, LKH. Stop watching Criminal Minds. Disorganized killers don't work in partnerships. Most of them generally tend to be suffering under psychosis. So unless that person that was directing them knew how to manipulate them via whatever was wrong with them, they would be alone. Secondly, and organized partner directing a killer would make that person be organized. Nevermind. I refuse to argue this. It's stupid and LKH doesn't know shit about profiling.
10. Well that's... entirely stereotypical. Granted, some serial killers have admitted to watching the life leave their victim's eyes. But still. Dammit, Podward, so lame.
11. I couldn't even read the rest because I just got pissed off that all these innocent therians are dying solely to apparently draw Anita out of St. Louis. The fuck. Why not vampires? But no. I think LKH just hates tigers...
12. Also, you should have a Meta-Knowledge count, too, for all the times Anita just happens to know things related to something that she has either never mentioned before, is retcon/new, or she has no real business knowing. Or is psychic.
