Murder Is Easy
Quotes from the Book
Not easy is it? People are supposed to be able to talk their way through anything these days.
Men. Why do you fight so hard to carve your names into history? To... leave some mark of yourselves for after you've gone?' 'Is that the difference between men and women then? Is that why men excel, while women just exist? Why it's the names of men that last for ever in history?' 'Nothing lasts forever. But the joke's on you. On men. Women are immortal. We leave traces of ourselves in our children, and our children's children; while men are out trying to be the first to climb a mountain.
Only a lass who's never had a babe could think one so easily replaced. It takes the heart out of you, when they go.
Anyone may be free. It's only a matter of finding a way.
What these other fellows don't seem to know, you see, is that it's not how hard you can hit that'll win you the fight, it's how hard you can be hit,

About Katherine Webb
About the book
Katherine Webb’s debut novel, The Legacy, was an international bestseller—and her remarkable second effort, The Unseen, is as gripping, thrilling, and unforgettable as her first. In this compelling story of love, deception, obsession, and illusion, the arrival of two dangerous strangers in a small village in England in the early 1900s disrupts the quiet lives of a vicar with a fascination with spiritualism and his naïve young wife, and ultimately leads to murder. The Unseen is literary suspense at its most entertaining and enthralling, truly superior fiction not unlike the captivating tales of Kate Morton and Diane Setterfield.
