I enjoyed this a lot. Just like Horowitz's other recent books. They do blur together a bit so I'm not sure where this one ranks. But I found the ending suitably surprising.
I really love the meta style of these books. It's fun to have small bits of Horowitz's life included. As well as insight into television writing.
My only disappointments were: A) I didn't love the descriptions of DI Cara Grunshaw. Horowitz seemed to want to dispel any idea that he'd judge a woman for her looks but then seemed to describe her in deliberately unflattering ways (I was reading a library copy so can't quote)...and B) I was hoping that Greg's suicide was a fake for insurance and he would somehow get help. But I guess that's wishful thinking.
Whodunnit? The widow's son who knew Pryce was involved in his father's death.

this felt like it should take place in like the 1940s but then they say selfie and reference breaking bad so i guess not
medium-paced
I can’t put my finger on what’s off about it. It’s good but also … not perfect
adventurous
mysterious
fast-paced
Oh, the twists and turns! Very plausible red herrings throughout. A very entertaining second book in the series. It’s a quick read, too.
Ideal confinement reading - entertaining page turner with all the intelligence and humour for which Horowitz is known.
Didn’t like narrator, unrealistic, didn’t like characters
