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. – Patricia Cornwell
‘Detroit 1-8-7’ – the numbers are police slang for murder – is filmed in that blue-collar Michigan city, providing a flavor of authenticity. Detroit offers a unique visual landscape that tells the story of the city and what it’s been through. – Michael Imperioli
Others too would occasionally entertain and privately express such doubts; though we all had been most solemnly warned by the cruel murder of Saint Francis. – Maria Monk
The real 1960s began on the afternoon of November 22, 1963. It came to seem that Kennedy’s murder opened some malign trap door in American culture, and the wild bats flapped out. – Lance Morrow
We could not guard every water pipeline from being blown up and every tree from being uprooted. We could not prevent every murder of a worker in an orchard or a family in their beds. – Moshe Dayan

People who would never sneer at sci-fi and murder mysteries have no trouble damning the whole romance genre without reading one. – Lauren Willig
The head of the CIA, it seems to me, would think long and hard before he admitted that former employees of his had been involved in the murder of the President of the United States-even if they weren’t acting on behalf of the Agency when they did it. – Jim Garrison
I was on ‘Murder She Wrote’ with Angela Lansbury. She was fantastic… she was lovely to everyone, she was always on time, prepared. Whereas when I worked with Bob Hope, he didn’t know his lines. He had to have these huge big cards… he hardly said two words to me all day. – Jane Badler
In the same way he’s fascinated by crosswords, the puzzle of solving the murder is what drives him on. – John Thaw

A romance novel is more than just a story in which two people fall in love. It’s a very specific form of genre fiction.

Is it hard for the reader to believe that suicides are sometimes committed to forestall the committing of murder? There is no doubt of it. Nor is there any doubt that murder is sometimes committed to avert suicide. – Karl A. Menninger
It’s kind of the yin and yang that fascinate me. That for all the evil men do, there are also people who work obnoxiously long hours and sacrifice their personal lives because it is a calling – if they don’t keep our streets safe, if they aren’t there to advocate for and save beaten women and children and murder victims, who will? – Lisa Gardner
Raymond Chandler once wrote that Dashiell Hammett gave murder back to the people who really committed it. – James Ellroy

These days, my subjects are murder and mayhem and other terrible things that happen to people – things that are even worse than cutting yourself shaving. And these are not the sorts of things you feel the need to experience before you write about them. – Linwood Barclay
The murder of Robert Krentz – whose family had been ranching in Arizona since 1907 – by illegal alien drug dealers was the final straw for many Arizonans. But there are dozens and dozens of other citizens of our state who had been murdered by illegal aliens. Currently 95 illegal aliens are in Maricopa County jail for murder. – Russell Pearce
