The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Hercule Poirot, #4)

by Agatha Christie

Women, in my experience, if they once reach the determination to commit suicide, usually wish to reveal the state of mind that led to the fatal action. They covet the limelight.

Women observe subconsciously a thousand little details, without knowing that they are doing so. Their subconscious mind adds these little things together—and they call the result intuition.

“Never worry about what you say to a man. They’re so conceited that they never believe you mean it if it’s unflattering.”
