…not only the knife getting twisted here; my mind is in knots trying to work all this out. An absorbing genre written by a master.

I really enjoyed the 4th book in this series. I find the way Horowitz writes 'himself' in these novels to be fun even when the case isn't.

This story was cleverly written with an excellent cast of characters and a series of motives that kept me guessing until the end.

I loved that we got a little more of Hawthorne's backstory too and can't wait for the next in the series.

Audiobook. As always, excellent narration.
I think this series gets better each book. Many laugh out loud moments and great ending.

It started off a bit slow but I was trying to figure out the murder the whole time and didn’t see it coming. I like who dunnit stories and I think it did a pretty good job capturing that.
