À propos de cet audio

In New York Times-bestselling author Anthony Horowitz’s ingenious fifth literary whodunit in the Hawthorne and Horowitz series, Detective Hawthorne is once again called upon to solve an unsolvable case—a gruesome murder in an idyllic gated community in which suspects abound

Riverside Close is a picture-perfect community. The six exclusive and attractive houses are tucked far away from the noise and grime of city life, allowing the residents to enjoy beautiful gardens, pleasant birdsong and tranquility from behind the security of a locked gate.

It is the perfect idyll until the Kentworthy family arrives, with their four giant, gas-guzzling cars, a gaggle of shrieking children and plans for a garish swimming pool in the backyard. Obvious outsiders, the Kentworthys do not belong in Riverside Close, and they quickly offend every last one of their neighbours.

When Giles Kentworthy is found dead on his own doorstep, a crossbow bolt sticking out of his chest, Detective Hawthorne is the only investigator that can be called on to solve the case.

Because how do you solve a murder when everyone is a suspect?

perfection

Immaculately plotted. Richly narrated. Absolutely top notch.

We enjoyed all four prior Hawthorne's but this one is a master class in how to write a mystery. Agatha would applaud.

The best yet.

It’s good, but not the quality of the previous books. The narration is still stellar.

Weakest of the Hawthorn series

I fell in love with the series from a very first book (although it may have not been the first in the series) and this one will live in my head rent free! Oh, and narrator deserves an oscar for the performance!

I LOVED this one!

I found this to be the least engaging book in the Horowitz and Hawthorne series, so far. The prologue was promising but when the story moved into the present day, my interest completely flagged. I found it convoluted and confusing, and I didn't care about the mystery because I lost the plot completely. 'Everyone did it' seemed an appropriate reveal for such a confusing story. If this is a preview of what's to come, I'm not that enthusiastic about the 7 more books the author is under contract to produce in this series.

Disappointing

I would usually allow a hard-cover book 3 chapters before I quit. I actually gave this book the opportunity to improve for 7 chapters ... still sucked in my opinion and have quit with an overall review of 2 stars.
windy and dull .... so much detailed description that has nothing to do with the story other than wasting space. Are authors paid by the word I wonder?
This is my first and last book by this author .. put a little more effort in, is my suggestion. Boo

Boo!
