À propos de cet audio
The New York Times bestselling author of the brilliantly inventive The Word Is Murder and The Sentence Is Death returns with his third literary whodunit featuring intrepid detectives Hawthorne and Horowitz.
When Ex-Detective Inspector Daniel Hawthorne and his sidekick, author Anthony Horowitz, are invited to an exclusive literary festival on Alderney, an idyllic island off the south coast of England, they don’t expect to find themselves in the middle of murder investigation—or to be trapped with a cold-blooded killer in a remote place with a murky, haunted past.
Arriving on Alderney, Hawthorne and Horowitz soon meet the festival’s other guests—an eccentric gathering that includes a bestselling children’s author, a French poet, a TV chef turned cookbook author, a blind psychic, and a war historian—along with a group of ornery locals embroiled in an escalating feud over a disruptive power line.
When a local grandee is found dead under mysterious circumstances, Hawthorne and Horowitz become embroiled in the case. The island is locked down, no one is allowed on or off, and it soon becomes horribly clear that a murderer lurks in their midst. But who?
Both a brilliant satire on the world of books and writers and an immensely enjoyable locked-room mystery, A Line to Kill is a triumph—a riddle of a story full of brilliant misdirection, beautifully set-out clues, and diabolically clever denouements.

Judith Potts is 77 years old and blissfully happy. She lives on her own in a faded mansion just outside Marlow, there’s no man in her life to tell her what to do or how much whisky to drink, and to keep herself busy she sets crosswords for The Times newspaper. One evening, while out swimming in the Thames, Judith witnesses a brutal murder. The local police don’t believe her story, so she decides to investigate for herself and is soon joined in her quest by Suzie, a salt-of-the-earth dog-walker, and Becks, the prim and proper wife of the local vicar.

One of the most glaring issues with "A Line to Kill" was its rushed and poorly planned narrative. Unlike its predecessors, which carefully crafted intricate plots and developed multi-dimensional characters, this novel felt hastily thrown together. The pacing was off, and the storyline lacked the depth and complexity that I've come to expect from Horowitz's work.
Furthermore, "A Line to Kill" seemed more like a filler novel than a seamless fit into the series. Instead of adding depth to the overarching story arc or further developing the characters, it felt disconnected and inconsequential. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was reading a story that was merely filling space rather than contributing meaningfully to the series as a whole.
Ultimately, while "A Line to Kill" may hold some appeal for die-hard fans of the series, it falls short of living up to its predecessors. It lacks the polish and sophistication that made the previous books so captivating, and I couldn't help but feel that I would miss nothing by skipping this installment entirely. For those who have been following the series faithfully, "A Line to Kill" may leave you wanting more – but not necessarily in a good way.
