Quotes by Alanna Knight  (?)

“If there was a lesson to be taken from history, it was that men lived but never learned from”
Alanna Knight, Enter Second Murderer

“When she was not persuading him that he was, like all men without a woman in their lives, utterly helpless, she indulged in an unending tide of gossip. This mainly concerned people her son had never heard of, nor, on the strength of their entire life histories, had any wish for further acquaintance.”
Alanna Knight, Killing Cousins

“In Faro’s opinion, their acquisition could not be compared with what was truly beyond price in his estimation, one man’s life or needless death.”
Alanna Knight, The Seal King Murders: The evocative Victorian Scottish whodunnit
