Quotes by Kristen Perrin (?)

“if TV has taught us anything, it’s that the murder rate in small villages is disproportionately high.”
― Kristen Perrin, How to Solve Your Own Murder

“Your future contains dry bones. Your slow demise begins right when you hold the queen in the palm of one hand. Beware the bird, for it will betray you. And from that, there’s no coming back. But daughters are the key to justice, find the right one and keep her close. All signs point toward your murder.”
