It was sickening how he laughed as he drove away after killing the office manager and his secretary at the mine.

Same here, DeGroot was my most hated villain. I have villains I liked since they are complicated and smart, but DeGroot is just trash. I agree that that scene was disgusting and that the author did a good job in writing his characters.e-tasana-williams wrote: ↑22 Oct 2019, 21:19 I dislike DeGroot the most.

Agreed. I like villains who are smart and have that somehow dark background on why they became a bad person. and usually, they have a certain principle on why they are doing bad things. However, in Dirk's case, he's just an a**h*le.Melissa Breen wrote: ↑24 Oct 2019, 14:39 Dirk definitely. His disregard for everyone's life and the ease at which he basically handed out death sentences was very intense. All he cared about was the end result

I agree. Dirk/DeGroot/Hendrik Janssen was the most loathsome villain in the book. He was so remorseless as he played mind games with his victims. Like a true psychopath, he used his charm to gain the trust of his victims before attacking them. It was interesting how Sarah and Jamie were suspicious of him from the start.e-tasana-williams wrote: ↑22 Oct 2019, 21:19 I dislike DeGroot the most. He seemed to relish murder and mayhem.

I agree. Especially as the antagonists are necessary to drive to plotline forward. But yeah, he is awful and very easy to hate.briellejee wrote: ↑23 Oct 2019, 22:47Same here, DeGroot was my most hated villain.
