Thoroughly enjoyed. I want to read more but I don’t want to have read them all! Don’t stop, Mr. Horowitz!

Enjoyable, quite a clever take on crime novel plots, one to read as a pb not a hb

He's just such a good mystery writer. I highly recommend
dark emotional mysterious sad medium-paced

I like Horowitz's literary gimmick of inserting himself in the story as a Watson-like character. I look forward to reading his Sherlock Holmes mysteries.

I did not like this book as much as I liked the first one in the series.  I got VERY tired of the narrator's insecurities and his determination to solve the murder, when it was quite obvious to the reader that he was never going to solve the murder.  The ending of the book is quite clever.  I do wish that there was a little more information in the author's note about which events of the novel are true and which are not. I'll probably read the next one in the series.
