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
##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##前半部分有點緩慢。節奏在後半本加快，就好看瞭很多。
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##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
評分作者這種吐槽編劇日常順帶偵破謀殺案的敘事手法我好喜歡。尤其有很多熟悉的英劇人名和影視八卦，超級有趣。 謀殺的詭計很妙，和作者一樣跟著偵探全程參與，但確實沒有猜到。 大結局的偵探先生和作者也太可愛瞭吧，偵探先生一句道歉就搞定作者，然後又惹怒。。 哈哈哈很是期待續集。
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##Books ???? are the greatest distractions.
評分##非常非常可愛，希望能寫成係列，偵探先生身上還有很多謎團呢～
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.
