It?s also one of the most stimulating, as it ponders such questions as: Which is of greater interest to the reader, the crime or the detective? And: Is the pencil truly mightier than the butcher knife?? - Wall Street JournalNew York Times bestselling author of Magpie Murders and Moriarty, Anthony Horowitz has yet again brilliantly reinvented the classic crime novel, this time writing a fictional version of himself as the Watson to a modern-day Holmes.A woman crosses a London street. It is just after 11 a.m. on a bright spring morning, and she is going into a funeral parlor to plan her own service.

And Hawthorne has a partner, the celebrated novelist Anthony Horowitz, curious about the case and looking for new material. As brusque, impatient, and annoying as Hawthorne can be, Horowitz-a seasoned hand when it comes to crime stories-suspects the detective may be on to something, and is irresistibly drawn into the mystery.But as the case unfolds, Horowitz realizes that he?s at the center of a story he can?t control, and his brilliant partner may be hiding dark and mysterious secrets of his own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51527402750240,"sku":"NEW0062676806","price":11.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71p9pYDFqkL.jpg?v=1777233199","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-word-is-murder-a-novel-a-hawthorne-and-horowitz-mystery-1-0062676806","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
