nature is not always tricked in holiday attire, but the same scene which yesterday breathed perfume and glittered as for the frolic of the nymphs, is overspread with melancholy today.

He sometimes thought of a crime scene as a woman's body. Every man naturally took interest in a few specific locations and largely ignored the rest. It was those other places—the skin at the base of the neck, the dimple on the lower back, the pad of her palm—where he could make a difference. A crime scene was no different. It was a woman who deserved to be explored completely. This was not an analogy Roger had ever shared with his wife.
