Moonflower Murders (Susan Ryeland, #2)

by Anthony Horowitz

a rather marvellous quotation from Margaret Atwood: ‘To live in prison is to live without mirrors. To live without mirrors is to live without the self.’

Pünd had never seen murder as a game, not even as a puzzle to be solved. His work was an examination of humanity at its darkest and most desperate. You could not solve crime unless you understood its genesis.

no matter how bad things may appear, they will be better tomorrow if you allow tomorrow to do its work? That is the way of things,

‘Everything in life has a pattern and a coincidence is simply the moment when that pattern becomes briefly visible.’
