The Death of Freddie

Freddie’s murder scene was one of the more exciting scenes in the novel. It kept me at the edge of my seat to know if Freddie would pick up on the fact Tom is actually living at the apartment and not Dickie. Clearly Freddie was quicker than Tom thought. I just can’t believe that Dickie chose to kill another innocent person. Freddie had done nothing to Tom, but potentially put together the missing pieces of Dickie’s disappearance. Now is Tom going to keep murdering everyone that he thinks is on to him? Does he not realize he is now involved in two murder cases and that the probability of getting caught has just doubled? It is interesting that Tom believes the way to solve problems is to just kill.
