Tess Gerritsen, who wrote the books, originally when she met me she said “You know, you’re not really, exactly the physical type that I imagined”, because in the books Maura is rather gothic with black, you know, bob and red lips and really kind of cold. But then when she got to know me and see sort of the way I play the character and how I interpreted it she thought “Yeah, but you know, inside you really are her.”
