1 | It turns out, if you're a real asshole to people, it gives them a LOT of reasons to kill you. Who'da thunk it? |

7 | * John Carroll from the Christmas novella ''A Mean One''. |
8 | * Bradley Anson from ''Big Beautiful Homicide''. |
9 | * Vance Tomswell from ''Creamy Cold Case''. |
10 | * "Colonel Angus", AKA Andrew Knox from ''Dead in Bed''. |
11 | * Isaiah Parthridge from ''Dead Man's Hand''. |
12 | * The thieves who stole the jewels in ''Deaths, Past and Present'' were a pretty nasty bunch all around. |
13 | * Lexie Kimmons and Dr. Marcel Graham from ''Horse of Another Murder''. |
14 | * Isabelle Paznier from ''Eyes On Osprey Isles''. |
15 | * Bethany Green from ''A Plague on Your Houses''. |
16 | ** Markus Langransky from the same book isn't exactly on the same level as Bethany, but he's still a rather unpleasant and strict landlord. |
17 | * Rex Wainwright, a mean spirited cattle baron from ''Meat Your Maker''. |
18 | * Corrine [=McCarthy=], the first victim from ''Pure Poison''. |
19 | * Gene Green from ''Rock till You Drop''. |
20 | * Duke Quinn from ''Killed Inaction''. |
21 | * He's not a major player, but given him being a terrorist, Kioumars Kardan from ''Soldiering On'' can apply here. |
22 | ** Dustin Foster is a more prominent example, being a drunken abusive tyrant who used to beat his wife Amber Plank on a regular basis. [[spoiler: It's his death from a drunk driving accident that helps unravel the killer's plan.]] |
23 | * Lance Payton from ''The Bride Wore Black''. |
24 | * Save for a maid who gets drowned, this applies to '''every''' victim of ''The House of Evil''. From an AmateurSleuth who enjoys destroying people's lives to a RichBitch who treats her employees like slaves to an AmoralAttorney, no-one is crying when the Trémaux family are killed. |
25 | * Brian Cape from ''The Final Page'' could fall into this. |
26 | * Avery Vance, Sr. from ''To the Slaughter''. The man was such a sadistic and abusive rapist that [[spoiler: his own son strangles him to death and chops up his body.]] |
27 | * Dean Clarence from ''Two Weddings and a Funeral''. |
28 | * Dalton Armstrong from ''What the Tabloids Won't Use'', a disgustingly perverted rich asshole. |
29 | * Jeremias Köler is a [[JerkJock fitness obsessed douchebag]] who never fails to make a fat joke to any citizen of North Candel. When he [[BlackmailBackfire makes the foolish mistake of trying to blackmail the killer]] in ''Speaking of Witch...'' and winds up dead, it's clear the man has no mourners. |
30 | * Adrian Ray and Elliot Elliott from ''When Paradise Sleeps''. The former is a rich hedonist who cheats on his fiancé and tries to scam a Chinese toy company with drones built by a former friend of his. [[spoiler: Said friend, one of the bellhops, kills him for that rip off all those years ago.]] The latter is an [[ThePrimaDonna actor with far too much ego and anger]] [[spoiler: who tries to poison his agent for the crime of leaving and blackballing him for [[HairTriggerTemper constantly freaking out over productions]] [[NeverMyFault that don't meet his standards.]] That poison [[HoistByHisOwnPetard is what ends up]] [[LaserGuidedKarma killing the bastard.]]]] |
31 | * "Bart Bonney" is an illusionist who is murdered in ''Where There's Smoke, There's Mirrors.'' |
32 | * Eric Staedler from ''The Ways to Skin a Cat''. A creepy hunter [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals with a knack for torturing what he hunts.]] It is not too surprising why [[OffWithHisHead someone chops his head off.]] |
33 | ** His killer [[spoiler: Kenneth Jenkins]] isn't much better, as they killed him when they discovered he had come across a habitat of griffins and didn't want him to kill them...[[spoiler: because he wanted to [[EvilPoacher sell them off for himself.]] ]] [[spoiler: He]] gets [[spoiler: his]] comeuppance when [[spoiler: he]] falls face first into one of Eric's bear traps. |
34 | * Landry Skinner from ''Skin of Your Teeth''. Described as a complete bastard by everyone he comes into contact with, Skinner is a cruel and joyless businessman who treats everyone around him like they're less than nothing. His killer [[spoiler: or at least, the guy who organized it]], however, is not sympathetic. This is because the motive behind it was that [[spoiler: [[DisappointedByTheMotive Landry didn't come to his birthday party when he was ten, and as such he couldn't order an ice-cream cake due to not having the discount for a high party.]] ]]Jonas [[spoiler: and the other people involved in Landry's death]] are just outright baffled when they hear this. |
35 | * Professor Otis Montgomery from ''One Foot in the Grade'' is a bastard of a college professor who sabotages students who entered the college on [=GEDs=] because [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex he isn't in as prestigious a college as the rest of his family members and takes his anger out on them.]] |
36 | * Duke Mustonen, the titular BountyHunter of ''The Bounty Hunter and Hunted''. The man is a vicious thug who turned private sector when his violence was [[PoliceBrutality too much even for cops.]] When he's made to die in a car crash, people are more upset about the store his car damaged than the bastard himself. |
37 | * Bruce "Dirty" Deeds from ''Pedigree of Murder.'' A brutal biker who was perfectly willing to kill a woman for a measly $35,000. It makes it more satisfying when his intended victim [[StupidCrooks who wasn't even his target anyway]] manages to bash in his head [[UndignifiedDeath despite being much smaller and weaker than him]]. |
38 | ** Dr. Karl Lysvand from the book isn't great either, being a [[BackAlleyDoctor doctor willing to perform plastic surgery on all sorts of criminals]] [[spoiler: including the killer back when he was a [[WhiteCollarCrime crooked investor.]] ]] |
39 | * Jimmy Maynard may have only been 16 at the time of his murder, but damned if he wasn't a cruel bully who drove a girl to commit suicide. |
40 | * Finley Fuentes, the racecar driver and ex-boyfriend of car collector Mariah Illkom-Browning in ''Retro Car Murder''. |
41 | * Abelin Dieulafoy from ''Game Over''. The man allows rampant abuse of his employees, so it's not hard to be happy when someone puts a throwing knife in his back. |
42 | * It makes sense that the main villain, vampire Zvonimir Dujimić of ''Death of a Vampire Hunter''. |
43 | * |
