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.

##有些地方還蠻阿婆的；敘事比案件更有趣，也比較難得遇到地理和文化的reference都能看懂的書2333
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##是我期望太高瞭嗎，這本遠不如喜鵲精彩，車禍這個appetite booster作者寫的明顯更用心，看起來也更有味道，3.5吧，希望下本好點
評分###2020ReadingChallenge01AmateurDetective 核心詭計平淡瞭一點但整本書有種whimsical的機智。希望寫成係列啊，新時代的watson和sherlock。
評分##齣於對Magpie Murders的喜愛讀完瞭這本，結果遠不如前者啊。為瞭消減本格案件置身當代倫敦的違和感，同樣是在敘述手法上玩花樣，喜鵲是用“作中作”，這係列看來是打算一路走“元小說”風。案件本身中規中矩，red herring是常規套路，凶手時間綫那塊明顯玩脫瞭，最後認凶的大場麵也不夠份量。唯一的亮點大概是散落書中的所有真實人物，斯皮爾伯格和丁丁曆險記那段怎麼看怎麼像發自肺腑的吐槽。

評分##:(
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
