The Arvon Book of Crime and Thriller Writing Quotes

“One of the joys of reading as a writer is that your eye becomes educated: yes, you may become more critical and abandon a higher percentage of novels halfway through, but when a writer gets it really right, the pleasure and admiration can be all the more intense.”
― Michelle Spring, The Arvon Book of Crime and Thriller Writing

“Many writers, good writers who ought to know better, focus so tightly on the structure demanded by a crime story that they lose track of the fact that they are writing a novel. Accusations of both sensationalism and trivialisation are, alas, often justified.”
― Laurie R. King, The Arvon Book of Crime and Thriller Writing
