“..it sounded very good and very false at the same time, so that you had the feeling that even if was true, he was touching only on the very highest points and maybe embellishing those a little.”
Bill Pronzini, The Vanished

“Men have mood swings. Women have mood leaps, mood swirls, mood loop-de-loops.”
Bill Pronzini, Spook

“He and the second wife must have made a very close, self-contained unit--two people moving through life as if in a thinly membraned bubble, venturing out separately for practical purposes but neither of them whole unless they were together. People who didn't need many friends or outside activities, who found complete fulfillment in each other.”
Bill Pronzini, Spook
