Anthony Horowitz, a YA novel and screen writer, delves into a new genre by writing a detective novel with Hawthorne, a crime consultant. Hawthorne proposes that Horowitz can document his process and write a novel and they can split the proceeds 50/50. While mostly fiction this book includes enough facts about Horowitz that it leaves you wondering, did this really happen in real life?
Fun modern twist to the Holmes/Watson relationship. Moves steadily while still leaving you guessing at the end.
Wish we knew more about Hawthorne. More incentive to keep reading the series.
