G.K. Chesterton
The criminal is the creative artist; the detective only the critic.
G.K. Chesterton, The Blue Cross: A Father Brown Mystery

Susan  Rowland
You can’t set fires, Anna. Never again. Promise.” [Anna] aimed her defiance at Mary. “And you? What’s your reason to hate me?” Caroline spoke quietly. “We nearly died — in the fire in those mountains and at the house when Ravi had a gun pointed at us.” Her eyes were full of tears. “The fire you set at The Old Hospital could have killed me as well as Janet and Agnes.” Anna muttered into the syrupy dregs of her tea. “Fire, you’re firing me?” Mary grimaced. There had been too much fire.
Susan Rowland, The Alchemy Fire Murder
