In this adventure, Hawthorne and Horowitz are called to a literary festival on the Island of Alderney to discuss their new book The Word is Murder. The morning after attending a part at the lookout, the sponsor of the festival is found dead on the property. Of course it will be difficult to figure out who killed him as he is the most disliked man on the island. It is up to Hawthorne to discover whodunnit, and Anthony, his unwilling Watson, to document it.


I always love it when you think the mystery is all wrapped up, but of course the police have had it wrong the whole time. I also really love Hawthorne's sense of morality. He won't excuse murder, even if it seems justified. My favorite thing about these books though, is that Anthony cannot seem to wrap his head around Hawthorne, but Hawthorne likes him and keeps brining him along.

I love these books! The mixture of fiction and reality is such a unique premise❤️

Love the partnership between the two main characters, the detective and the author. And the twist at the end. A murder. And then another. The who done it sagged a little towards the end with the obvious, and then the twists. Including the eggs dropped for the next book. I fully enjoyed
