具体描述
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.

###2020ReadingChallenge01AmateurDetective 核心诡计平淡了一点但整本书有种whimsical的机智。希望写成系列啊，新时代的watson和sherlock。
评分##和喜鹊谋杀案类似，这本 the word is murder也是现实和小说结合之作，不同的是前者是作中作，这部是作者把自己本人写入小说，和侦探一起破案。除了谋杀是虚构的，里面有大量真实的人物。包括作者本人的生活，作为作家和编剧的的创作挣扎，还有和经纪人、好莱坞大佬们的互动，连斯皮尔伯格和彼得杰克逊都入镜了，最牛逼的是把国土安全的男星直接拿进来换个姓，当成谋杀案受害者被砍死了????。当然，破案部分还是很精彩的，只不过由于体裁，显然不再适合波洛式的，所以变成了福尔摩斯和华生式的。最核心的诡计方面，有一定推理小说阅读量的读者应该不难猜出七七八八，至少红鲱鱼那部分很好猜。总之，精彩程度略逊于喜鹊谋杀案，但比月亮花谋杀案要好。
评分##有些地方还蛮阿婆的；叙事比案件更有趣，也比较难得遇到地理和文化的reference都能看懂的书2333
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##3.5星 因为现代侦探小说难写而鼓励0.5星。和喜鹊类似，作者仍采用了两个故事相扣的设计，可惜的是第一个故事和最后的谋杀案相差太远。不过第一个故事(车祸谜团）更有趣，颇有阿婆的小说韵味。
评分##故事不错，就是这种breaking the forth wall的写法有点烦人
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。
