I'm not good at this.

I'm never going to be good in this.

I'd already started doing, I think, some of the research at the Emmy's office, but I still couldn't figure out how to tell the story.

I mean, how do you write about autopsies but tell a whodunit at the same time?

There was no formula for what I was trying to do.

I didn't realize I was kind of creating a new one.

And so I had this dream one night where I was waiting in a line and Agatha Christie was doing a book signing.

It was so real.

It was like I was watching it.

I was awake and asleep at the same time.

My eyes were shut, but I couldn't move.

And there's this movie playing in my head like this.

And I'm in that line and I get up to the table and it's Agatha Christie and looks just like her with the big hat and she had on all black.

And she's just signing books and not looking at anybody.

So when I get to her, I just said, thank you.

It's an honor to meet you.

And she's signing and she says something.

She says, you will take my place.

And I said, excuse me?

And she looked up at me briefly, and she said, you will take my place.
