Discussion Questions
-
Will Graham catches killers by thinking like them. What does that gift cost him?
-
We spend long chapters inside Dolarhyde's head. Did that make him more frightening, or more sympathetic?
-
The book came out in 1981. How does the forensic work compare with crime fiction today?
