Kindle Notes & Highlights
There are four primary motives for murder: love/sex, money, silence, and revenge. Revenge is fourth for a reason. A murder motivated purely by revenge is uncommon, because the benefits are vague, intangible, of negligible worth. Most people who plan and—pardon the pun—execute the death of another do so in anticipation of something positive occurring as a result, rather than as an empty reaction to something already in the past.
