    Quote taken from Chapter 1 of The Corpse Wore Gingham: You love to figure out
    “Quote taken from Chapter 1 of The Corpse Wore Gingham:

    "You love to figure out things as much as I do,” Piper said.

    “Like what?” Bill asked.

    “Repairing a broken toaster or steam iron is far different than unraveling a murder mystery," Bill said.”
    ― Ed Lynskey, The Corpse Wore Gingham
