Little, Crazy Children Quotes

“ONE OF MY FAVORITE NOVELS is this little mystery that was published in 2012, The Last Policeman by Ben H. Winters. The conceit is, the world is ending (an asteroid coming in hot, no way to stop it), but one New Hampshire detective decides to keep working a homicide case. I love that idea. It’s at once so ridiculous and so human: We are all the Last Policeman, after all, going about our jobs, doing what we know how to do, as we wait for our death, which may come tomorrow or fifty years from now. We’re all living on borrowed time.”

“The next day I got a call around five A.M. The call was from Lynda Mayer, who is my German teacher, and she told my parents what had happened to Lisa. My parents told me that Lisa had been murdered.”
