À propos de cet audio
SHE PLANNED HER OWN FUNERAL. BUT DID SHE ARRANGE HER OWN MURDER?
New York Times bestselling author of Magpie Murders and Moriarty, Anthony Horowitz has yet again brilliantly reinvented the classic crime novel, this time writing a fictional version of himself as the Watson to a modern-day Holmes.
One bright spring morning in London, Diana Cowper – the wealthy mother of a famous actor - enters a funeral parlor. She is there to plan her own service.
Six hours later she is found dead, strangled with a curtain cord in her own home.
Enter disgraced police detective Daniel Hawthorne, a brilliant, eccentric investigator who’s as quick with an insult as he is to crack a case. Hawthorne needs a ghost writer to document his life; a Watson to his Holmes. He chooses Anthony Horowitz.
Drawn in against his will, Horowitz soon finds himself a the center of a story he cannot control. Hawthorne is brusque, temperamental and annoying but even so his latest case with its many twists and turns proves irresistible. The writer and the detective form an unusual partnership. At the same time, it soon becomes clear that Hawthorne is hiding some dark secrets of his own.
A masterful and tricky mystery that springs many surprises, The Word is Murder is Anthony Horowitz at his very best.

To solve an impossible murder, you need an impossible hero … Seventy-seven-year-old Judith Potts is blissfully happy. She lives alone in a faded mansion in Marlow, sets crosswords for The Times, and there's no man in her life to tell her what to do or how much whisky to drink. One evening, while out swimming in the Thames, Judith witnesses a brutal murder. When the local police don't believe her story, Judith and two unlikely friends decide to investigate for themselves. Together, they are the Marlow Murder Club.

England, 1920. Eleanor Swift has spent the last few years travelling the world: taking tea in China, tasting alligators in Peru, escaping bandits in Persia and she has just arrived in England after a chaotic 45-day flight from South Africa. Chipstone is about the sleepiest town you could have the misfortune to meet. But then, from the edge of a quarry, through the driving rain, Eleanor is shocked to see a man shot and killed in the distance. Before she can climb down to the spot, the villain is gone and the body has vanished.

So disappointing I couldn’t finish it!
- Écrit par Pixel’s mum le 2023-01-03
Auteur(s): Verity Bright
Charges that Horowitz unapologetically markets his own works are legitimate (he drops names and titles frequently), but I didn't find his obvious huge ego overwhelming. If you can overlook it, he crafts a well-contrived well-implemented crime investigation.
The reading from Rory Kinnear is creditable but unspectacular, too. His diction and timing are professional, his timbre and cadence are suitable for hours of listening, and his voice-acting repertoire is expansive & emotive.. but his overall tone is somewhat disinterested. Mr. Kinnear sounds as though he's collecting a paycheck. He was a great casting choice from HarperCollins Publishers Inc - but someone else could easily have done the same work.
In toto, this 8/10-star recording is definitely worth your time if you can get it - as I did - included with your subscription. Even if they ask for a Credit, it's a reasonable option.
