What a fascinating read. I love the concept of psychologists being suspects in a murder case.
I don’t think their case on deception was too interesting or pertinent to the case though.
I liked learning that people who are liars usually keep eye contact and are charming, and in turn, to catch someone in a lie, you must be warm and create report, then catch them by asking them something baffling.
I had the killer down to two people at the end: Kings and Mark. I can’t believe I was close: it was Mark. I think the truly terrifying part was Mark having no reason to try to kill his ex or actually kill Lyons other than pay back for taking sole custody of his kid. It’s scary to think the person doesn’t need a reason for murder.
