It’s been a very long time since I read the book but I went to a talk with Shriver and I found it very interesting that she wanted to keep the focus so closely on exactly the questions you’re posing, hence the ‘method’ Kevin uses (attempting to keep spoiler free) so as not to divert discussion overtly towards similar cases from the headlines.

I hope this makes sense. Trying to not spoil it but I think my attempts are making no sense at all…

I absolutely get you, you're dead right. It was a good way of keeping the conversation focused on the far more interesting questions of why, who is to blame etc. and not veering off into the... other discussion
