Özet

She planned her own funeral. But did she arrange her own murder? Buried secrets, murder and a trail of bloody clues lie at the heart of Anthony Horowitz's page-turning Hawthorne and Horowitz detective series.

A woman is strangled six hours after organising her own funeral.

Did she know she was going to die? Did she recognise her killer?

Enter Daniel Hawthorne, a detective with a genius for solving crimes and an ability to hold secrets very close.

With him is his writing partner, Anthony Horowitz. Together they will set out to solve his most puzzling of mysteries.

What neither of them know is that they are about to embark on a dark and dangerous journey whether the twists and turns are as unexpected as they are bloody.

A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, A Deadly Episode is an intriguing page-turner that once again demonstrates why Anthony Horowitz is the reigning king of the modern whodunit.

Eleştirmen yorumları

Ingenious twist on the classic whodunnit
Splendidly entertaining, absorbing and difficult to put down. Hawthorne is an intriguing character
Horowitz is strong on plot … and infectiously zestful
A real page-turner. I loved it! (ALED JONES (ITV, Weekend))
Raises the game-playing to Olympic level.
Actually the word is not murder, it's ingenious ... A masterful meta-mystery.
The beguiling whodunit plot is dispatched with characteristic elan as Horowitz blurs the line between fact and fiction
There is plenty of metafictional fun to be had
Fast-paced and full of unpredictable twists and turns.
Horowitz has put together a cleverly twisting mystery featuring plenty of suspicious characters and more than a few red herrings

Would you listen to The Word Is Murder again? Why?

In a few years, once the nuances of the plot have left me, thenI will definitely listen to it again.

What did you like best about this story?

It was a bit unexpected: the breaking of the 'third wall', the singular narratorial voice etc. I'd really, really loved The Magpie Murders and had expected something similar: this was very different, but I was quickly gripped.

What about Rory Kinnear’s performance did you like?

He distinguished very clearly between the two key characters - the narrator and the detective, but was relatively unobtrusive. He was great.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

A Sherlock and Holmes for the modern age

Can't recommend highly enough

I enjoyed this even more than The Magpie Murders, which I loved. Initially I was unsure about the author himself appearing in the book, but I think that this was, in the end, part of the appeal. It is a wonderful story, very convincing, and a plot of which Agatha Christie herself would have been proud.
Hawthorne and Horowitz make a very appealing detective duo.
The narration by Rory Kinnear is outstanding, one of the best I have heard.

Fabulous!

It kept me entertained and guessing. I felt fully involved in Anthony's adventure and gripped by the murder and investigation.
Total A. Horowitz's fan from now onwards.

Couldn't stay away from this book.

- In which the author writes himself into the story as the Detective explores the crime.
In the manner of Dr.Watson's side kick to Sherlock Holmes, Anthony Horowitz shadows ex Met.detective Hawthorne as he investigates the case of a woman who is murdered six hours after entering an undertaker's to arrange her own funeral.
The author's writing is simple, even elegant, in contradiction to the complexity of the plot. plus the author's inclusion of himself as a character works really well, allowing for humour and distractions to be given to the reader. Rory Kinnear as narrator is excellent, distinctly differentiating between the character voices and reading with clarity, involvement, warmth and good modulation. A fine performance which further enhanced an already enjoyable book.

A most enjoyable read
