The Sentence is Death: A mind-bending murder mystery from the bestselling author of THE WORD IS MURDER

Product Information

But Hawthorne himself has secrets to hide and as our reluctant narrator becomes ever more embroiled in the case he realises that these are secrets that need to be exposed - even if it puts his own life in danger . Horowitz’s wife, agent and editor all crop up as characters, along with others who weren’t so happy to appear — it seems at least one person threatened legal action over her depiction. When he is found murdered, the police confront the most baffling of mysteries: who was the visitor who came to Pryce's house moments before he died, arriving while he was still talking on the phone? The first book amazed me with it's ingenuity - managing to combine the real author and the book's fictional detective, with Anthony Horowitz playing the role of narrator in a fictional story. He is completely wrong, but Hawthorne lets Anthony take his solution to Detective Grunshaw so she can be embarrassed when she arrests the wrong person.

The victim whose death requires Hawthorne’s attention this time is divorce attorney Richard Pryce, bashed to death in the comfort of his home with a wine bottle.

Horowitz bungled the discussion about homophobia in “The Word is Murder” — he frets about giving a platform for Hawthorne’s very apparent homophobia, but ultimately does so anyway — and “The Sentence is Death” is no better. He was dressed in a dark suit, a white shirt and a narrow tie, clothes that might have been deliberately chosen to say nothing about him.

A week after the night she chases but fails to catch a mysterious trespasser outside her town house, some unknown party texts Tempe four images of a corpse that looks as if it’s been chewed by wild hogs, because it has been. I'm sure many people don't have that pet hate, and therefore will have no problem at all with the concept.

A sequel to “ The Word is Murder,” the first in the Hawthorne series, Horowitz fails to keep this second novel innovative. References to Holmes and his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, are sprinkled throughout the book but Hawthorne never quite convinces as a latter-day Sherlock. In Anthony Horowitz’s previous novel, “The Word Is Murder,” readers were introduced to a character named Anthony Horowitz. The device allows the author to conduct a running commentary on the process of writing the story, while poking fun at himself.To access you ebook(s) after purchasing, you can download the free Glose app or read instantly on your browser by logging into Glose.
