Brilliant Insanity: Novel by Yvonne Mason
Reviewed by: Fran Lewis
Victim or murderer: Retribution or Revenge: Justified or Not: Is Marian Louise/Lewis Reinhart guilty or is he a victim of circumstances that were beyond his control?
My name is Marian Lewis/Louise Reinhart and I invite you to analyze my life and the reasoning behind my acts of revenge. I will state the facts as I presented them to the reporter that I chose to write my story. You decide whether I should receive that lethal injection or not.
The police took their time in finding me. In fact had I not presented them with the clues to find me I would never have been caught. They claim that I intentionally mutilated, chopped up, and used for fish bait eight women that they claim did not deserve to die plus three more that they now know about because I confessed to their murders to my interviewer. I must confess that I had no choice but to seek revenge on these women for what they had done to me. The first three of the eleven were just practice kills in order to make sure I got the EIGHT I intended to kill done the right way.
Yvonne Mason, a master at her craft, created through me, her main character an exquisite, intricate web of intrigue, deception, murder, and revenge in her acclaimed novel Beautiful Insanity.
Many would say that she portrayed me as a cruel, heartless, and unfeeling person who lured these women into his lair and committed a very heinous crime. However, each of these women played a vital role in what happened to me that fateful night and scarred me for life.
All of these women attended the same High School as I did. All of them mocked, ridiculed, and shunned me for being different. They made me feel that being superior in intelligence, not dressing flashy and not being in their social class made me an inferior person and the object of their ridicule. Most of the time I felt as if I was invisible when in the same room with them and other students in the school.
All I ever wanted from everyone, including my parents, was to be accepted for the person I was. That was not to be. Most people could not accept that I had a superior IQ of 170 and could learn just about anything with no problem at all. However, all of them wanted my help with their homework and did not hesitate to ask.
As a woman trapped in a man’s body, I could not cope with the way I was and I had myself changed into a woman on the inside. No one realized it until that fateful night which led to events that I will not tell because I do not want to give away the author’s secrets.
Mandy, the reporter that I chose to interview me before I receive that injection seemed scared at first and could not handle being in the interview room with me when she first met me. As the interviews continued, she became stronger and pushed to find out the one secret that I would not divulge until the very end. This secret would explain how her mother became one of my victims and a lot more. I even insisted that she was present for my execution or she would never know the truth about her mother or why I had chosen her as the only reporter for this exclusive interview.
Yvonne Mason’s description of Mandy and her reactions are not only creative but also so realistic the reader will feel that he or she is in the room with her as they read my account of each murder. Anyone with any kind of feeling might even feel sorry for these women, but most of them got what they deserved and they were better off for it. You will have to read this amazingly crafted novel to find out whether you agree that they deserved what they got, or you think I was right. After all, they were in unhappy marriages or relationships and really provided nothing tangible to society. So, why not put them out of their misery.
Yvonne Mason, also the author of Silent Scream, which this reviewer cannot wait to read, wrote an outstanding and very descriptive, realistic and heart wrenching story of revenge. She describes the inner thoughts and workings of a multiple-personality man/woman who was not content with his life. Each of the women killed had changed over the years and still craved to be the center of attention to their spouses and family. However, they were not. For a short time he made sure that they were and then he ended their sorry lives.
Although, a genius, he never really felt he belonged anywhere and with any one. Planning these murders was a full time job and he committed them to perfection. He might have felt that he won by killing them but in reality he did not. The lethal injection that he received could not bring back those he killed nor would it fill the void in those left behind.
There is a lesson to be learned in this novel in that people need to learn to accept others for who and what they are and notBrilliant Insanity: Novel by Yvonne Mason
