“In many of the murder mysteries Stevie loved, the detective would gather the suspects in a room, then explain who didn't do it before getting to who did. She never really understood who suspects would want to go to something like that, except maybe because these books took place in the past, and there wasn't that much to do then. Today, she got it. People would come because everyone wants to know the answer- especially in a place like a small town, where everyone knows everyone, and murder had cast a shadow for decades.” — Maureen Johnson
