- Drastically
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have tried to create main characters who are drastically different from the types who generally appear in crime novels. Mikael Blomkvist, for instance, doesn't have ulcers or booze problems or an anxiety complex. He doesn't listen to operas, nor does he have an oddball hobby such as making model airplanes.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I abhor crime novels in which the main character can behave however he or she pleases, or do things that normal people do not do, without those actions having social consequences.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Naturally, it is a terrible, despicable crime when, as in Munich, people are taken hostage, people are killed. But probing the motives of those responsible and showing that they are also individuals with families and have their own story does not excuse what they did.

- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I know a lot of crime writers feel very underrated, like they're not taken seriously, and they want to be just thought of as writers rather than ghettoised as crime writers, but I love being thought of firmly as a crime writer.
- Nobody
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Nobody has ever written as many enjoyable, fun-to-read crime novels as Agatha Christie. It's all about the storytelling and the pleasure of the reader. She doesn't want to be deep or highbrow.
- Enough
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most crime fiction plots are not ambitious enough for me. I want something really labyrinthine with clues and puzzles that will reward careful attention.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Crime fiction is a way of satisfying that nosy need to know.
- Law
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Hate crime and hate speech must not be tolerated. Our policy and lawmakers and those who uphold the law must protect the most vulnerable in our society.

- |

I'm a bit of a hacker fanatic and know a fair bit about that industry and cyber crime and cyber warfare.

- |

- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, I really like the human drama embedded in a crime story, and I like the way European films do that.
- Focus
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Thames Torso murders almost fell into my lap. After deciding to use a real historical crime as the focus for the book, I went to Google and searched for unsolved murders in Victorian London, and they basically popped out at me about halfway down the first results page.
- Seen
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Enough
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- City
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Chinatown is tremendously interesting... It's a part of the city that hasn't really been explored in crime literature or in any general literature. It's as though Chinatown didn't exist. People write about New York without mentioning Chinatown at all.
- Happens
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The poor and minorities are disproportionately both crime's perpetrators and its victims. People are saddened when this happens but not surprised.
