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.
用户评价
##Books ???? are the greatest distractions.
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。
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##是我期望太高了吗，这本远不如喜鹊精彩，车祸这个appetite booster作者写的明显更用心，看起来也更有味道，3.5吧，希望下本好点
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##前半部分有点缓慢。节奏在后半本加快，就好看了很多。

评分##出于对Magpie Murders的喜爱读完了这本，结果远不如前者啊。为了消减本格案件置身当代伦敦的违和感，同样是在叙述手法上玩花样，喜鹊是用“作中作”，这系列看来是打算一路走“元小说”风。案件本身中规中矩，red herring是常规套路，凶手时间线那块明显玩脱了，最后认凶的大场面也不够份量。唯一的亮点大概是散落书中的所有真实人物，斯皮尔伯格和丁丁历险记那段怎么看怎么像发自肺腑的吐槽。
