improdoc 's review for:

A Line to Kill by Anthony Horowitz
3.0

This is the 3rd book in Anthony Horowitz's very creative series /premise of writing as himself writing about the exploits of erasable detective. While I enjoyed the first two, this one felt forced somehow... I also figured out the ending well in advance, which is less fun... what lost me most of all though is that Horowitz has painted himself as increasingly unlikeable over the 3 books, self-centered, frustrated, needy... tons of less than engaging traits... and concurrently the narrator struggles with the many unknowns in our detective's character without seeing any more through the veil at all, stalling the process character development in the first two books.. I like Horowitz's writing but this one left me a little flat.
