“I like maths because they are not like life, they have a straightforward answer in the end” (61-62)
This quote is significant because Christopher is solving a mystery and this quote ties in with how difficult it is to solve a mystery. He is going out of his way and doing things that make him uncomfortable, like talking to strangers to solve this mystery. He also discovered why his father didn’t like Mr. Shears. Christopher was out on a walk and saw Mrs. Alexandria and asked her why her father thought Mr. Shears was an evil man but she didn’t want to tell him. He asked this because Mr. Shears was his prime suspect, but his father hated him for a different reason for a different reason. With a lot of persuading he finally convinced Mrs. Alexandra to tell him why. She made him promise that if she told him he wouldn’t tell his dad. She finally told him that the reason his father hated Mr. Shears was that before his mother died his mother cheated on him with Mr. Shears. Christopher was not upset about his mother’s betrayal, he was just upset that no one ever told him. This is significant because it also ties in with the quote because he never got a answer when he asked his parents why they were fighting, he has to go to the neighbors who knew before him.
