A Deadly Episode

The sixth outing for the sleuthing duo of Horowitz and Hawthorne, A Deadly Episode, is another winner. * Financial Times *A meta romp * New York Times *Brilliant … the author combines delicious dry humour with a rigorous fair-play whodunnit, but this installment’s Scream-like Hollywood satire takes it to another level * Publishers Weekly, Starred Review *Delightful * Library Journal *Clever and playful, this is meta-mystery at its best. * i Paper *[Horowitz’s] “Overactive imagination” has once again produced a chunk of five-star entertainment * The Times *The sixth in the brilliant Hawthrone and Horowitz series… (is) layers of fun. * Daily Express *Horowitz is quite simply a brilliant writer - he’s funny, smart and knows how to craft a good story…. Be warned. Horowitz is addictive * Sunday Independent *I take such pleasure from this series and this, the sixth, is every bit as good as its predecessors… dare I say, my favourite. * Belfast Telegraph *A fresh treat * Boston Herald *
