4.5 ⭐️ just because of the ending. Love this series and loved the whole plot until the end. I found it a little messy and not as coherent as possible, but still loved it. Now onto the 4th book
Although I don’t really love these stories, the characters are great. The narratives are great as well— I laughed a bit. I just think as far as mysteries go, they aren’t very interesting.
There has never been a murder on Alderney. Our author and narrator is due to attend a book festival with his subject, Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne, in Alderney. You can see where this is going.
I will refer to the author as Horowitz, and the narrator as Anthony. As usual, Anthony bumbles behind Hawthorne, seeing everything the PI sees, without understanding the meaning behind what's going on. Anthony is us. We are experiencing the situation with our narrator (to the extent that I, like Anthony, had suspicions regarding a certain character).
As with the previous novels in this series, A Line to Kill is very fun, highly intriguing, and leaves me wanting more.
I've read a lot of Horowitz. From Horowitz Horror, to the Alex Rider series, Magpie Murders and the Hawthorne crime novels. I knew I would absolutely love A Line to Kill, and I did. Horowitz is one of the most readable authors on the planet. I could keep reading about Anthony and Hawthorne's investigations for years to come.
Many thanks to Anthony Horowitz, NetGalley, and Random House UK for this copy.

4.5 my favorite of the series so far. This one had a bit of a closed circle, isolated, mystery feel to it, even though there were lots of people on the island. Hawthorne continues to annoy me, but I suppose that is one of the main purposes of this character.
All my data about this book disappeared - not sure why.
I never figure out a Horowitz mystery. Ever.

3.75⭐️ The third book of the series was not that intriguing unfortunately.
I enjoyed this book. It isn’t my favourite in the series and I felt that the murder wasn’t as closed off as in the other book. The ending felt a little rushed. As a whole, an easy and fun read with a different perspective. I love how these books are written, it’s so clever
This series is SO fun. The way Horowitz is also a character in the book is wonderful. I hope this series continues for so many more books, even if in the story world it's a trilogy.
