Sentence is Death

Betyg

Jag älskade denna bok! Inte för att det är den mest välskrivna bok ever, utan för att den tog mig tillbaka till bokslukaråldern och den känsla jag då hade när jag kunde förlora mig helt i böcker av Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle, Maria Lang, Stieg Trenter... Just det att ha en ovetande berättare som sidekick till den smarta detektiven känns så väldigt old school, så jag blev helt frälst och ska så snart som möjligt ta mig till biblioteket för att låna de böcker av Horowitz som de hade. Härlig höstläsning!

I've not read THE WORD IS MURDER, book one in this series, but I definitely want to after reading this one!

To be honest didn't I know a damn thing about the story before I started to read/listen to this book (yes I tend to mix it when I have the chance, listen at work, read and listen at home). And to find that Anthony Horowitz has written two books with himself as a character was a great joy (such a fun idea). He's like Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne's own Watson. Although, their working relationship is a bit strained. Anthony isn't even sure he likes Hawthorne that much. I, however, find both of them enjoyable.

Anyway, there has been a murder and Anthony and Hawthorne is out to find out the truth. Anthony also struggles with an episode of Foyle's War (love that series, this book made me wanna rewatch it). As a new reader to this series was this my first encounter with the characters, and I loved getting to know them. And just like Anthony do I want to know more about Hawthorne. I had a blast reading this book and I although I saw one of the big twists a mile away did I really love the ending of the book!

THE SENTENCE IS DEATH is definitely a book that I recommend and I can't wait to read the first book and the third book when it's published!
