I am having so much fun with this whodunit romp with a Sherlock Holmes-esque detective couple. I still find it extremely funny and original that the author wrote himself into the series as the Watson to the Holmes of this story. As they say: write what you know best, and this is exactly what Horowitz does. He writes about being a writer and about the whole publishing business, adding a "Sherlock Hawthorne" and a murder mystery to the mix. 😆
I figured half of the solution out pretty fast but the other half eluded me almost to the end. I managed to figure it out a bit before the full revelations, so I still feel quite the accomplished detective myself. Still had fun and the little red herrings weren't all easily untangled, so it was still very much a decent mystery. 😊
