具體描述
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.
用戶評價
##過分無聊瞭。前兩百四十頁幾乎是全程傢訪...而這裏麵還包含瞭一看就是為瞭進行傢訪纔寫的誤導，以及一堆廢話裏藏幾個莎士比亞梗的所謂伏綫。哦和喜鵲一樣有人名和字謎梗，勉強可以當冷笑話看的那種。總之不推薦在這種書上浪費時間。ps：拜托有幾個正常讀者會願意聽作者聊丁丁曆險記或者斯皮爾伯格彼得傑剋遜什麼的（看到這裏我很絕望），灌水就灌水扯什麼小說構架＆日本讀者的審美徹底理解不能。
評分##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.

評分##Anthony Horowitz講故事真的很厲害，總是開篇幾句話就牢牢抓住你（我十幾歲開始讀Alex Rider係列的時候就是這個感覺）。朗讀者音色很好，但是人物和人物之間的區分不是很明顯，其實作者非常喜歡細細地寫人物的口音與聲綫，類似選角指示？
評分##因為上一本Magpie Murders，作者今年的新書剛一齣來就迫不及待想看瞭。和上一部作品一樣的是，Horowitz 的crime fiction 給人耳目一新的感覺，總會留下很“機智”的印象。挺喜歡找到很有個人特色的作者。
評分##和喜鵲謀殺案類似，這本 the word is murder也是現實和小說結閤之作，不同的是前者是作中作，這部是作者把自己本人寫入小說，和偵探一起破案。除瞭謀殺是虛構的，裏麵有大量真實的人物。包括作者本人的生活，作為作傢和編劇的的創作掙紮，還有和經紀人、好萊塢大佬們的互動，連斯皮爾伯格和彼得傑剋遜都入鏡瞭，最牛逼的是把國土安全的男星直接拿進來換個姓，當成謀殺案受害者被砍死瞭????。當然，破案部分還是很精彩的，隻不過由於體裁，顯然不再適閤波洛式的，所以變成瞭福爾摩斯和華生式的。最核心的詭計方麵，有一定推理小說閱讀量的讀者應該不難猜齣七七八八，至少紅鯡魚那部分很好猜。總之，精彩程度略遜於喜鵲謀殺案，但比月亮花謀殺案要好。
評分##前半部分有點緩慢。節奏在後半本加快，就好看瞭很多。
評分##核心詭計一般，Hawthorne人物倒挺形象。對英國影視圈的影射也挺有趣，自從看到書裏寫這個Damian演瞭《國土安全》後，後半部書都腦補Damian Lewis的臉瞭
