A Line to Kill
Autor Anthony Horowitzen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mar 2022
'EASILY THE GREATEST OF OUR CRIME WRITERS'
Sunday Times
***BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MOONFLOWER MURDERS***
'The murders are elaborate, the clues opaque and the mystery seemingly unsolvable, until Hawthorne steps in with customary aplomb and explains all. As a mystery, this book is immensely satisfying. But as a meta-story - an extravagant, knowing satire ... knowing send-up of the author himself; and a homage to the Golden Age of mystery - it is pure delight.'NEW YORK TIMES
Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne and the writer Anthony Horowitz have been invited to a literary festival on the island of Alderney to talk about their new book.
Very soon they discover that dark forces are at work.
Alderney is in turmoil over a planned power line that will cut through it, desecrating a war cemetery and turning neighbour against neighbour.
And the visiting authors seem to be harbouring any number of unpleasant secrets.
When the festival's wealthy sponsor is found brutally murdered, Alderney goes into lockdown and Hawthorne knows he doesn't have to look too far for suspects. There's no escape. The killer is still on the island.
And there's about to be a second death . . .

Recenzii
"Horowitz is a master of misdirection, and his brilliant self-portrayal, wittily self-deprecating, carries the reader through a jolly satire on the publishing world." — Booklist
"The most conventional of Horowitz’s mysteries to date still reads like a golden-age whodunit on steroids." — Kirkus Reviews
“Fiendishly entertaining . . . . As a mystery, this book is immensely satisfying. But as a meta-story — an extravagant, knowing satire of authors, agents, publishers and literary hangers-on; a knowing sendup of the author himself; and a homage to the Golden Age of mystery — it is pure delight.” — New York Times Book Review
“Horowitz pokes fun at the literary community in this witty whodunit, set at a literary festival whose attendees include one Anthony Horowitz. When a festivalgoer is fatally stabbed in the neck with a letter opener, the sleuthing — and delightful banter — begin.” — Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post
“Anthony Horowitz’s “A Line to Kill” is prime Horowitz — that is, a mystery wrapped in a riddle.” — Boston Globe
". . . Worthy of Agatha Christie. . .There’s enough intrigue left regarding the mysterious Hawthorne to keep readers tantalized until the inevitable next entry in this addictive series." — Wall Street Journal
Notă biografică
ANTHONY HOROWITZ is the author of the US bestselling Magpie Murders and The Word is Murder, and one of the most prolific and successful writers in the English language; he may have committed more (fictional) murders than any other living author. His novel Trigger Mortis features original material from Ian Fleming. His most recent Sherlock Holmes novel, Moriarty, is a reader favorite; and his bestselling Alex Rider series for young adults has sold more than 19 million copies worldwide. As a TV screenwriter, he created both Midsomer Murders and the BAFTA-winning Foyle's War on PBS. Horowitz regularly contributes to a wide variety of national newspapers and magazines, and in January 2014 was awarded an OBE.
