“Robert considered the information Miss Harrington had gathered for him in the village. He suspected she was far better at getting people to talk to her than he would ever be--even if the information was disgorged in a particularly fragmented and feminine way. In his role as local magistrate, Robert had the power to affect people's lives. Such a position made his tenants and the villagers more afraid of him, and wary of giving offense.
He would have to rely on Miss Harrington's haphazard methods of detection and use his more ordered male mind to unravel the tangle of information and make sense of it.”

“It has often been said that the more unusual the murder the easier it is to solve, but this is a theory I don't believe. Nothing is easy, nothing is simple, and you should think of your investigations as a complicated experiment: look at what remains constant and look at what changes, ask the right questions and don't be afraid of wrong answers, and above all rely on observation and rely on experience.”
