Everyone is capable of change. If you’ve tried and failed to change, you might feel like there’s no point in trying again. It might seem easier to just stay as you are. Simply choosing not to do bad things can push you in the right direction. Committing to telling fewer lies, for example, is a significant step. The Ghost stepped forward, courting that fragile light to give shape to its face. Gram watched gloom shift from its hollowed cheeks and eyes, and then gather at the corners of a sinister smile"

Reminding me of one of my favorite thrillers made into a movie, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, I couldn't help casting the role of Alex Palmer, the troubled and sexy former cop turned crime writer, as Daniel Craig. Which was fun. I am now referring to the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish people. It's one of those things that is easily said: 'The Jewish people are being exterminated', says every party member, 'this is very obvious, it's in our program, elimination of the Jews, extermination, we're doing it, hah, a small matter.' And then they turn up, the upstanding 80 million Germans, and each one has his decent Jew. They say the others are all swines, but this particular one is a splendid Jew. But none has observed it, endured it. Most of you here know what it means when 100 corpses lie next to each other, when there are 500 or when there are 1,000. To have endured this and at the same time to have remained a decent person — with exceptions due to human weaknesses — has made us tough, and is a glorious chapter that has not and will not be spoken of. Because we know how difficult it would be for us if we still had Jews as secret saboteurs, agitators and rabble-rousers in every city, what with the bombings, with the burden and with the hardships of the war.

Tom Nolan, a seasoned detective and loner involved in finding each missing child. Nolan is tasked with chaperoning Palmer and walking through each case.

The dark factor of personality: A theory of the common core of dark personality traits. When I thought I knew what was happening earlier on in the story, this one kept me guessing. I loved that it kept me on my toes as a reader, and I appreciated the dark and moody vibe that I felt throughout this book. It’s very much a unique story, but as I watched it play out in my mind, it reminded me of how I felt watching some favorite crime thrillers on television (Season One of True Detective came to mind, as did The Killing). There are some supernatural and religious/cultish themes in this story, and I really enjoyed that aspect as well. Have ever ripped clothing in an awkward place while you’ve been out in public?

The book is set in Yorkshire and revolves around a four year-old case about a little girl being abducted from her home in Stormer Hill. Detective Tom Nolan was working the case until it goes cold. Nolan tries to investiagte but he has nothing: no forensics, no body and no evidence. That is until another girl vanishes without a trace. Bad People is a thrilling read, filled with unique twists and gruesome violence. As the story progresses, popping between the primary characters points of view, there’s a real sense that no one is a hundred percent innocent. All of them have skeletons in their closets and peeking in on those vulnerable moments made me feel voyeuristic as a reader, which is no easy feat and is really a testament to the strength of Craig Wallwork’s writing chops.There is a larger philosophical debate about whether humans in their natural uncivilized state are innately “bad” or “good,” often referred to as “Hobbes” vs. “Rousseau” views. Sapolsky helps us see why, unsurprisingly, it’s “a mixture of both.” 19, 20 The detective Tom Nolan was a real human being insecure, craves validation from his boss and the poor guy not even described as good looking. Typically the Detective is handsome blue eyes and smart knows it all which is so boring because it’s predictable. Nolan is just an average smart guy that need help and that makes him so relatable.

People with complex, interpersonal problems might put up a façade that prevents people from getting more than a superficial glimpse of them. They seem nasty, guiltless, without remorse. But that may not be the full story,” Joseph says. While this is the first time I’ve read anything by Craig Wallwork it certainly won’t be the last! I’m highly anticipating the follow up to Bad People, called Labyrinth of the Dolls which continues the story of Detective Tom Nolan and should be available later this summer. It’s not always possible to avoid hurting everyone. If you proceed with caution and compassion, you can avoid causing unnecessary pain. Thinking things over can also help you find a solution that’s better for all involved. Practice self-acceptanceThe point of understanding Hitler’s deluded beliefs is not in any way to exonerate him and the Nazis—the fanatical and callous ruthlessness with which he and his inner circle implemented their murderous agenda constituted crimes against humanity of the highest degree, and probably required no small measure of psychopathic traits. The point here is to illustrate how deeply irrational was their obsession with the Jews—irrational to the point of diverting resources from their war effort to the program of systematic persecution and genocide.
