Description

In New York Times bestselling author Anthony Horowitz’s ingenious fourth literary whodunit following The Word is Murder, The Sentence is Death, and A Line to Kill, Horowitz becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation—and only one man can prove his innocence: his newly estranged partner in solving crime, Detective Hawthorne.

“I’m sorry but the answer’s no.” Reluctant author, Anthony Horowitz, has had enough. He tells ex-detective Daniel Hawthorne that after three books he’s splitting and their deal is over.

The truth is that Anthony has other things on his mind.

His new play, a thriller called Mindgame, is about to open at the Vaudeville Theater in London’s West End. Not surprisingly, Hawthorne declines a ticket to the opening night.

The play is panned by the critics. In particular, Sunday Times critic Margaret Throsby gives it a savage review, focusing particularly on the writing. The next day, Throsby is stabbed in the heart with an ornamental dagger which turns out to belong to Anthony, and has his fingerprints all over it.

Anthony is arrested by an old enemy . . . Detective Inspector Cara Grunshaw. She still carries a grudge from her failure to solve the case described in the second Hawthorne adventure, The Sentence is Death, and blames Anthony. Now she’s out for revenge.

Thrown into prison and fearing for both his personal future and his writing career, Anthony is the prime suspect in Throsby’s murder and when a second theatre critic is found to have died in mysterious circumstances, the net closes in. Ever more desperate, he realizes that only one man can help him.

But will Hawthorne take the call?

Perfect Performance

It took me a while (halfway through the second book) to warm up to the series premise but the performance sells it. Best performance yet. Kinnear plays the fictional Horowitz with just the right pomp and jest needed to make this series work. The mystery is decent and plays fair but there were no twists per se. Hawthorne has endeared himself to me and I look forward to the next.

Clever and fun.

I heard about this book on CBC. They loved it and so did I.
It was my first adventure into reading this author; Horowitz covers his history. Tells us more than we need to know and makes it fun.

This series gets better and better

I really enjoyed this latest book in the Hawthorne and Horowitz Investigates series. The books keep on getting better each time. In this one, Anthony finds himself in hot water when a theatre critic is found dead in her home the day after her horrible review of Anthony's play came out. To make matters worse, evidence found at the crime scene links Anthony to the killing. Anthony finds himself with no one to turn to when his nemesis Sergeant Kara Grenshaw arrests him for the murder, so he turns to his "partner in crime" - Daniel Hawthorne to help get him out of the big jam he is in. I love the interplay between these two characters, and in this book it is especially delightful, because Hawthorne can't resist baiting Tony for getting himself into the jam he's in. When the two start investigating, there is no dearth of suspects as the dead critic was not a very nice person, and was disliked and even hated by many. As the two investigate they find they have to go back in time to an old crime in a small English village to unravel the mystery. It was so much fun following the trail that these two navigated during their investigation. The characters are very believable and the mystery is tricky enough to keep the reader guessing. I did listen to this book on audiobook, and found that very enjoyable as well. Rory Kinnear does a great job of narrating these books. If you're looking for well-written mystery novels that always have a tricky solution, believable characters and that are fun to read, this series is for you.
