Quotes by Alice Castle (?)

“Yes, but don't you see? The police always suspect the person who found the body. Half the time, they're right to. Because the only reason someone finds the body is because they've just killed it...”
― Alice Castle, The Murder Mystery

“Once life had revolved around tiny communities. where everyone had known each other's business. Now, no one had any idea who their neighbours were - unless they decided to delve. The internet was the modern village well. With a few persistent dips, and a lot of cross-referencing to make sure, you could find out anything about anybody”
― Alice Castle, The Murder Mystery
