One of the hardest things to believe is that anyone will abandon the effort to escape a charge of murder. It is extremely important to suspend disbelief on that. If you don't, the story is spoiled.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't believe in murder.
The more real the murder is, the less interested I am in seeing it. It's hard enough to watch the news.
Well, I think storytellers have always found murder a fascinating device.
Very few of us playing a murderer will actually have killed someone.
Murder will out, this my conclusion.
The why of murder always fascinates me so much more than the how.
When someone dies instantly, then I think the well of grief and disbelief all mixed in with it is unfathomable. And when murder is involved, that just takes it into a whole new place. There is an extra dimension you just can't compute or deal with.
What the detective story is about is not murder but the restoration of order.
I'm not sure whay I've been drawn to this subject, except that murder is a subject that has always drawn people for as long as people have been telling stories.
On the one hand I wonder, Was this really my story to tell? On the other hand, I just wanted the story to be told. But the truth is that I didn't think anybody was going to read it.
