" How could I tell Clarence that finding another dead body was anything but dreadful? On the contrary: it was thrilling; it was exciting; it was exhilarating, it was invigorating; to say nothing of electrifying and above all, satisfying.
How could I tell the dear man that murder made me feel so gloriously alive? "

― Alan Bradley , Thrice the Brinded Cat Hath Mew'd (Flavia de Luce, #8)
