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##:(
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##3.5星 因為現代偵探小說難寫而鼓勵0.5星。和喜鵲類似，作者仍采用瞭兩個故事相扣的設計，可惜的是第一個故事和最後的謀殺案相差太遠。不過第一個故事(車禍謎團）更有趣，頗有阿婆的小說韻味。

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##前半部分有點緩慢。節奏在後半本加快，就好看瞭很多。
