Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Another Word For Murder by Anthony Horowitz, read by Rory Kinnear.
Death, deception, and a detective with quite a lot to hide: the second novel in the bestselling series starring Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne.
‘You shouldn’t be here. It’s too late…’
These were Richard Pryce's last words, overheard moments before the celeb divorce lawyer was bludgeoned to death with a £3,000 bottle of wine.
Strange circumstances pile up. Pryce was teetotal, so why this bottle? Why those words? Why did the killer paint a number on his wall? And, most importantly, which of the man’s many, many enemies did the deed?
Baffled, the police are forced to bring in Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne and his sidekick, the author Anthony, who’s really getting rather good at this murder investigation business.
But as Hawthorne takes on the case with characteristic relish, it becomes clear that he, too, has secrets to hide. Anthony knows they must be exposed – even at the risk of death…

I love his books!
I was nearly put off by some of the other reviews, but had pre-ordered. I was not disappointed at all and found it a really easy listen. I'm looking forward to the next book already!

So good in parts ....
Really enjoyed the story but Rory Kinnear narration was so good in parts but down right appalling in others especially as mentioned before the female detective, which was actually cringeworthy.
That said I am really looking forward to book 3\

Brilliant!
Couldn’t wait to read this after the first volume and now I can’t wait to read the next one. Excellent plotting with enough twists and turns to keep any reader listening on.

Loving this series!
Perfect combination of plot and characters, Rory is brilliant. Love the idea that Anthony is constantly being out done by Hawthorn, very comical. Please write many more!

Dreadful narration of female voices.
Such a pity to spoil a marvellous book by the screechy voice of the female detective.

Another great read!
Love Hawthorn. Very canny detective. Reminds me a lot of Foyle. No nonsense from either of them.
