The Sentence is Death
by Anthony Horowitz
Anthony Horowitz writes a damn good mystery. Seriously, I can't think of many other modern authors who are able to nail the essentials of a mystery novel like he can. So that's why I continue on with this series, despite the fact that I don't find Hawthorne to be an interesting or compelling character.
I gave the first book in this series 3 stars because it didn't meet the expectations set by the delightful Magpie Murders. In comparing this one with The Word is Murder, the mystery presented in the first book was more intriguing. I can't bring myself to give this one a lower rating because, in the end, these are so readable. Goes down like a glass of wine.
Going to continue on with this series because I have my fingers crossed that something happens to make me feel any emotion whatsoever towards Hawthorne - while those fingers are already crossed, I'll go ahead and hope that the next two books don't end with the same shenanigan that the first two did.
