Anissa’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for A Line to Kill (Hawthorne & Horowitz #3)

A Line to Kill (Hawthorne & Horowitz #3) by Anthony Horowitz

3 highlights

I think there’s something wonderful and reassuring about the idea that in the rush of modern life people will still come together and sit for an hour in a theatre, a gymnasium or a giant tent simply out of a love of books and reading.

“I didn’t get to that pudding in time. It had boiled dry. I think it’s really all right—just a little scorched perhaps. In case it tasted rather nasty I thought I would open a bottle of those raspberries I put up last summer. They seem to have a bit of mould on top but they say nowadays that that doesn’t matter. It’s really rather good for you—practically penicillin.”
― Agatha Christie, Mrs. McGinty's Dead
