“Where do you look for someone who’s never really there? Always on a staircase but never on a stair.”

[andruwminyrd]

read in 2019. the vanishing stair by maureen johnson.

“why mysteries?” “with mysteries,” she said, “with crime, you get all this information - everything matters. the location. the time. the weather. the building. the ground. every single thing that floats by. every objects in the room. everything everyone says. it’s a lot of stuff. and you have to look at it all and find the pattern, find the thing that stands out, figure out the thing that means something. is there a piece of thread stuck in the fence? did someone hear a noise? is there a fingerprint under the table? and there could be thousands of fingerprints - so which one means something? you take everything in the world and you figure out what matters. that’s what it is. and then you make things right.

“Detection has many methods, many pathways, narrow and subtle. Fingerprints. The lost piece of thread. The dog barking in the night. But there is also Google.”

“What you lack in any investigation is time. With every passing hour, evidence slips away. Crime scenes are compromised by people and the elements. Things are moved, altered, smeared, shifted. Organisms rot. Wind blows dust and contaminants. Memories change and fade. As you move away from the event, you move away from the solution.”

“Shock is a funny thing. Things get both sharp and fuzzy. Time stretches and distorts. Things come rushing into focus and seem larger than they are. Other things vanish to a single point.”
