Mystery Novels Quotes

You know, people call mystery novels or thrillers ‘puzzles.’ I never understood that, because when I buy a puzzle, I already know what it is. It’s on the box. And even if I don’t, if it’s a 5,000-piece puzzle of the ‘Mona Lisa’, it’s not like I put the last piece in and go, ‘I had no idea it’s the ‘Mona Lisa’!’ Picture Quote #1
It seems to me that good novels celebrate the mystery in ordinary life, and summing it all up in psychological terms strips the mystery away Picture Quote #1
What I like in novels that I read and enjoy is interplay of theme: the mystery of how we seem to be so separate as human beings Picture Quote #1
My crime books are actually novels and are written as such. One might even say that each one is really two novels, one of which is the story I tell the reader, and the other the buried story I know and let slip now and then into a clue to whet the reader’s interest Picture Quote #1
I think authors are just realizing there’s no real reason to feel limited to a narrow set of genre rules in their writing. There’s no reason a mystery novel can’t have fantastic elements in it. Similarly, there’s no reason why your epic fantasy series can’t have elements of a mystery Picture Quote #1
Ah, there’s nothing like tea in the afternoon. When the British Empire collapses, historians will find that it had made but two invaluable contributions to civilization - this tea ritual and the detective novel Picture Quote #1

I had thought for years, probably 30 or 40 years, that it would be a lot of fun to try my hand at a classic English mystery novel... I love that form very much because the reader is so familiar with all of the types of characters that are in there that they already identify with the book Picture Quote #1
When I was in my early 20s, my dream was to write mystery novels. I wanted to do what my favourite crime writer, Ross Macdonald, did - crank out a book a year. The only problem - and it was a considerable one - was that I stank Picture Quote #1
Steve Forman strafes the south Florida scene with Boca Knights, an outrageously funny mystery novel with a raft of offbeat characters and prose that moves trippingly off the pen. His main man, Eddie Perlmutter, ex-Boston cop attempting semi-retirement in Boca Raton like a fish trying to retire out of the water, is a character for the ages. Carl Hiaasen, watch your back Picture Quote #1
If I had a bookstore I would make all the mystery novels hard to find Picture Quote #1
I like to believe my suspense novels marry the strong characters from my romance writing past, with the twisty, clever plots of my mystery writing present Picture Quote #1
The mystery story is two stories in one: the story of what happened and the story of what appeared to happen Picture Quote #1

My father was sleepless most of his life. So by the age of five, I was awake with him all night long, watching bad television or we'd lie in the same bed, and I'd read my comic books while he read his latest spy or mystery novel Picture Quote #1
It seems to me that good novels celebrate the mystery in ordinary life, and summing it all up in psychological terms strips the mystery away Picture Quote #1
Poems are taught as though the poet has put a secret key in his words and it is the reader’s job to find it. Poems are not mystery novels Picture Quote #1
The solution, once revealed, must seem to have been inevitable. At least half of all the mystery novels published violate this law Picture Quote #1
At least half the mystery novels published violate the law that the solution, once revealed, must seem to be inevitable Picture Quote #1
