According to the author, Compelled to Murder is an adapted novelization of movie “A Reason to Kill”.  Apparently there was some issue with the screenplay, so this book was written.  I looked around and did not find a movie with this plot by that name, so I guess this particular plot didn’t make the cut.  If you are reading this, let me know if I am wrong.  I did not like the 3rd person omnipresent POV.  Too much in the head of tons of characters.  Also the characters talking to themselves was dumb. This book’s format just was a turn off.  Lots of jumping around between characters one paragraph to the next.  Just very busy.  I enjoyed the plot, the kills and the entitled privileged kids that the adults seem to have an issue confronting; however, this book needs work.  Meh…
