In Katherine Ramsland’s article “Murder by the Book: The Murder of Karyn Slover,” she tells the story of the mysterious murder of a 23 year old mother who seemed to vanish with no reasoning in central Illinois back in 1996. Ramsland begins by telling how an abandoned car was left on the side of the road with it still running, the headlights on and the driver door still open. Police searched the car and found a drivers license with Karyn Slover’s name on it, yet the car belonged to David Swann.

At the beginning of the story, he believed that his mom had died and he ends up finding out that his father was lying to him the whole time. Also, his father tells Christopher to stop looking for whoever killed Wellington, and the reason he tells him to stop is because he did it. His father knows that Christopher's life is hard, and he just makes it harder. For example Haddon writes, “I was cold and I was frightened Father might come out and find me.

(pg. 126) This shows that not only does Christopher's father make life harder, but he scares christopher and as a father, the last thing you should be doing is scaring your son, especially if he has a mental

(Haddon 122). This shows that all Father was trying to do was to protect Christopher and he didn’t want it to all backfire but as the lie got bigger and stronger it all went downhill. Father was just trying to protect Christopher from the hurtful truth but as it went along it went the wrong way. Christopher was so hurt by this truth that all he wanted to do was run away, in which case he did. Father hid Christopher's book to make sure that he would stop investigating about the murder of Wellington and made sure that he wouldn’t write in that book again, but as Christopher was looking for his book he found a box with envelopes in them, he opened them and started reading. As he started reading he did not know that is whole life was about to change so suddenly. “ Mother had not had a heart attack. Mother had not died. Mother had been alive all the time. And father had lied about this” (Haddon 112).

Later in the book Christopher finds out that his mom had an affair with Mr. Shears and they moved to London together, but Christopher says that it does not matter because it happened in the past and his mom was dead. This means that he did not realize that this could have happened recently and that his mom may still be alive. This is just one of those things that is just too much for Christopher to

The first reason he is guilty of first degree murder, is because he planned the attack, and stalked the old man every night. He hadn't just come up with his actions. "… and so by degrees, very gradually, I made up my mind to take the life of the old man," (39). So he slowly decided to do it, and it wasn't impulse. The fact that he planned to kill the old man is just one of the reasons why the narrator is guilty of murder.
