kastrel 's review for:
A Line to Kill
by Anthony Horowitz
I really enjoyed this, as I have the whole series. It's clever, very meta (with Horowitz writing as if it's an autobiography), I didn't work it out in advance at all.
My only complaint is the choice of a big reveal that Elizabeth Lovell wasn't blind. Blindness isn't a binary thing and I know various blind people on social media have to deal with ignorance and abuse where people accuse them of being fakes when they show they have some sight. Obviously the character was unpleasant and had been deliberately deceiving people, but writing it as a "gotcha" I think just feeds that nastiness unfortunately.
But that is only a small complaint, I really enjoyed the whole book and the set-up for future installments.
