I can't think of a more pleasant way to commit murder.
ReplyDeleteJake in The Dark Tide
This is an easy one for me, in fact I want your permission to turn this into a meme,it's from "The Mermaid Murders" :- " When you gaze long into the abyss...the abyss asks you out for cocktails".
ReplyDeleteThis Adrien's grumbling is a meme sharing by my friends and I some Monday to console us.
ReplyDelete"Cops before breakfast. Before coffee even. As if Mondays weren't bad enough."
(Fatal Shadows, JL)
I don't think there's something that's more powerful than Sam telling Jason this: "I would rather lose the case than lose you.", when we all know that Sam lives for his career & no one else's, of course until he met Jason. <3 And it's from The Mermaid Murders.
ReplyDelete“You know I love you. I’ve loved you your entire life. Since you were an annoying little twerp. And I’ve been in love with you for the past week.” Pierce from Stranger on the Shore
ReplyDelete"You fucking shot me, MacAllister."
ReplyDeleteWill in Blood Heat.
Eeeeeek! Love this one:
ReplyDelete“It was dark.” “I'd know you in the dark, Tucker.”
Fair Game.

Beautiful, lyrical poetry in prose:
ReplyDelete"Everything, every flat surface, was covered in lovely, sparkling snow. Those surfaces too slanted or irregular were glazed in ice, glittering in the petrified sunlight like a jeweled crust, tiny flashing prisms of red and blue catching light like frozen fire. Ice garlands seemed to twine through the trees and I guessed that there were strands of lights beneath the frost. The tree limbs were spindly and attenuated where the ice had started to melt and then refrozen. It added to the otherworldly appearance."
(All She Wrote, Kit's description of Anna Hitchcock's snow-and-ice covered garden.)
Will reached over and squeezed Taylor's shoulder. "Don't you worry, sweetheart, I'll find you someone else you can shoot."

My favorite (well, one of my many favorites) is from “All She Wrote”:
ReplyDeleteWhat was wrong with me? I’d never been one of these sloppy, sentimental types. It was just . . . I was so happy to see him. So touched that he’d done this—flown clear across country to yell at me in my hour of need.
Why can't you say it?" I hardened my voice. "Because I'm telling you, you never have. I'd have remembered."
ReplyDeleteHe stared at me with disbelief. Then he lunged forward, pushing me flat in the pillows once more. He leaned over me, his mouth a brush of lips away from my own, his breath warm on my face.
"Love you? Of course I love you. Baby, I fucking worship you. The Dark Tide.

"They kissed, but it was a gentle kiss and there was no urgency. They were tired and they were...healing. They had time. And time was the most beautiful word of all"
ReplyDeletefrom CUTYS... I love Max and Swift
Sorry I have to go with Johanna's pick on #1 here ☺
ReplyDeleteGoge
My favorite quote (well, more like conversation) is from The Dark Tide.
ReplyDelete"You know what I thought the first time I saw you?"
"No."
"Point of no return."
"Huh?"
"I knew. I knew from the second I laid eyes on you, everything was going to change."
"The problem is, I don't want whoever. I want you. All the time."
ReplyDelete- Sam from The Monet Murders
Rick - *Rick* - filled the doorway, the night breeze ruffling his dark hair, his eyes raking the crowded room.
ReplyDelete"Wow," Kris said. "James Bond just arrived."
Rake had tried to pretend that there was nothing between them. You didn't have to read fairytales to know the magical thing that had sprung to life the very first time they had laid eyes on each other.
ReplyDeleteLove. That was the word for it in the mortal realms. And in the immortal realms as well.
Archer, Green Glass Beads
Elliot muttered, “I love your nose,” and Tucker laughed. Elliot wasn’t kidding though. He kissed the bridge of Tucker’s nose, the corner of his eye. He said shakily, “I kept thinking...why didn’t I kiss you more? Why didn’t I kiss your nose and your eyebrows? Why didn’t I tell you I loved you more often?”
ReplyDelete-Fair Chance
Closeness and affinity aside, the part-time vegetarianism drove him nuts.

I’m loving all these quotes so much. ♥
ReplyDelete"His green gaze was grave. Sometimes he saw too much. "Best Christmas memory?" he asked.
ReplyDelete"This," I said, "Tonight."" - I Spy Something Christmas
