Quotes by Pauline Rowson (?)

“He watched her leave with mixed feelings. His heart wanted to trust her, but his head and his gut told him he couldn’t.”

“Well, what are you waiting for?’ You to climb on your broomstick and fly away,”

“Horton could tell instantly there was no one in the house, dead or alive. Death left a place much colder than this, you could smell it, taste it, and sense it. It crept up your flesh, quickened your breath, and sent your pulse racing to cope with the first shock of meeting it. But this house was empty, just a shell.”
― Pauline Rowson, The Portsmouth Murders
