A Sunday Times bestseller

How do you solve a murder... when everyone has the same motive? From global bestselling Anthony Horowitz, a brilliantly entertaining mystery in the Hawthorne and Horowitz series.

Richmond Upon Thames is one of the most desirable areas to live in London. And Riverview Close - a quiet, gated community – seems to offer its inhabitants the perfect life.

At least it does until Giles Kenworthy moves in with his wife and noisy children, his four gas-guzzling cars, his loud parties and his plans for a new swimming pool in his garden.

His neighbours all have a reason to hate him and are soon up in arms.

When Kenworthy is shot dead with a crossbow bolt through his neck, all of them come under suspicion and his murder opens the door to lies, deception and further death.

The police are baffled. Reluctantly, they call in former Detective Daniel Hawthorne. But even he is faced with a seemingly impossible puzzle.

How do you solve a murder when everyone has the same motive?

'The master of the mystery' Style
'The king of the clever whodunnit' Good Housekeeping

Commentaires

(CLOSE TO DEATH is one of) the five best murder mystery novels of all time
Easily the greatest of our crime writers
[Horowitz is] a master puppeteer
'A clever murder mystery…playful and twisty. Nobody does this crime fiction better than Anthony Horowitz
Spectacularly good fun, wickedly clever, with a pinch of the macabre, this is everything you could wish for from one of our top crime writers
I had a great time with Close to Death by our best living thriller writer, Anthony Horowitz. Set in a gated Richmond enclave, it combines endless narrative surprises with sharp observation of the professional classes
Turns the closed-circle mystery inside out
The master of the mystery
The king of the clever whodunnit
An excellent entertaining thriller

Love the Hawthorn series

it's nice to read about Hawthorne and Horowitz again even if with the new way this book is being written we don't see as many interactions between them as we were used to.
Like the previous books, the murder remained a mystery until the very end for me and I just found out at the beginning of the explanation who did it thinking all the clues were present and I didn't see them.
I look forward for the next one and I wonder how the author will try and shake things up in another new way.

A nice change from the first books
