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.
###2020ReadingChallenge01AmateurDetective 核心诡计平淡了一点但整本书有种whimsical的机智。希望写成系列啊,新时代的watson和sherlock。

评分##:(
评分##Anthony Horowitz讲故事真的很厉害,总是开篇几句话就牢牢抓住你(我十几岁开始读Alex Rider系列的时候就是这个感觉)。朗读者音色很好,但是人物和人物之间的区分不是很明显,其实作者非常喜欢细细地写人物的口音与声线,类似选角指示?
评分##Books ???? are the greatest distractions.
