"What kind of detective are you?” “A lousy one and proud of it. I write, remember?”

"She looked down at her hand & laughed. “Berretta doesn’t make lighters.”
"So they're not Tolstoy, they're a little shorter...Okay, okay a lot. Go ahead, read my mystery series anyway."
"A detective has their boundaries especially me. So mine shifted occasionally...okay a lot"
“Beat it, Buster. My temper and this mace have a hair trigger.”
“Interference could be lethal.” I got right up in his face, hissing, “Don’t push me, I’m hormonal.”
I'm not really a lousy detective, just rough around the edges.”
