“It had all come to me at Paddington station, the extraordinary moment that all of them must have felt--Poirot, Holmes, Wimsey, Marple, Morse--but which their authors had never fully explained. What was it like, for them? A slow process, like constructing a jigsaw? Or did it come in a rush, one last turn in a toy kaleidoscope when all the colours and shapes tumbled and twisted into each other, forming a recognizable image? That was what had happened to me. The truth had been there. But it had taken a final nudge for me to see it, all of it.”
