The why of murder always fascinates me so much more than the how.

Murder will out, this my conclusion.

There are all sorts of ways of murdering a person or at least his soul, and that's something no police in the world can spot.

Well, I think storytellers have always found murder a fascinating device.

In classic noir fiction and film, it is always hot. Fans whirr in sweltering hotel rooms, sweat forms on a stranger's brow, the muggy air stifles - one can hardly breathe. Come nightfall, there is no relief, only the darkness that allows illicit lovers to meet, the trusted to betray, and murderers to act.

Each murder is one too many.

In the country the darkness of night is friendly and familiar, but in a city, with its blaze of lights, it is unnatural, hostile and menacing. It is like a monstrous vulture that hovers, biding its time.

Murder is about power and the more powerful women get the more it will change the good that they do and the bad that they do.

The more real the murder is, the less interested I am in seeing it. It's hard enough to watch the news.

I'm not personally obsessed with death. At a certain age, the light that you live in is inhabited by the shades - it 'tis.
