• Estuve con un auténtico imbécil después del primer desengaño, y una vez que hice el requisito previo de comerme una tarta entera y cantar "All By Myself" en la ducha, me di cuenta de que la gente te trata mal cuando tú se lo permites, y de que tenía que respetarme a mí misma y no dejar que nadie me volviera a tratar así. Si alguien te quiere de verdad, es tu mayor defensor, no tu mayor detractor.

• The plot is very important because writers have to play fair with their readers, but no one would care about the plot if the character work wasn't there. So, basically every book I work on starts with me thinking not just about the bad thing that's going to happen, but how that bad thing is going to ripple through the community, the family of the victim, and the lives of the investigators. I am keenly aware when I'm working that the crimes I am writing about have happened to real people. I take that very seriously.
