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.
##:(
评分##有点模仿福尔摩斯和华生,不过意外地效果好。朗读者的声音也好听。
评分##前半部分有点缓慢。节奏在后半本加快,就好看了很多。
评分##是我期望太高了吗,这本远不如喜鹊精彩,车祸这个appetite booster作者写的明显更用心,看起来也更有味道,3.5吧,希望下本好点
评分##Typical British mystery with reference of drama, theatre and, of course, Hamlet. A very grumpy Holmes and a less amicable Watson plus a nice little plot on the platter, including enough red herrings.

评分##Books ???? are the greatest distractions.
评分##1. 强烈的元小说特点让这本书在构思上显得比传统侦探小说更为“现代”;2.(作为作者和叙述者的)Anthony与前警官Hawthorne的组合颇有向华生与福尔摩斯致敬的意思;3.悬念、红鲱鱼和反转的设置巧妙,我脑子笨硬是没猜出凶手;4.以及最后一章怎么写得那么可爱!
