“When an old man dies, a library burns to the ground.”
Craig Johnson, Next to Last Stand

Ed Lynskey
“Isabel and Alma Trumbo are the sisters who reside in the brick rambler on Church Street. They are a bit, uh, different and unorthodox. Borderline eccentric, some of the townies say, especially Alma.”
“What do the borderline eccentric sisters Isabel and Alma know about solving a murder case?”
Dwight gave it a moment’s reflection. “They could probably write a book about it.”
Ed Lynskey, Fowl Play

Erin Morgenstern
“It is easier to be in love in a room with closed doors. To have the whole world in one room. One person. The universe condensed and intensified and burning, bright and alive and electric.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

“I’d heard that they were going to stop teaching cursive in schools, which was fine with me, because then all us old people would have a secret code.”
Craig Johnson, Next to Last Stand

“Just being near the Éveohtsé-heómėse cost me eight hours of my life. The old ones call it the Wandering Without, the nothing, the thing that takes and never gives.”
Craig Johnson, Daughter of the Morning Star
