the first anthony horowitz i’ve ever read and honestly can say that i was compelled by it. being the first murder mystery i have read in a good while i forgot my love of the genre and this was an amazing book to get back into it. horowitz own reflection of wat sons narrative is similar to that of conan doyle’s yet has a fresher take that is darker and yet still just as tense.
the way it all wraps up neatly at the end is amazing as mid way through you are confused as to how this case has taken a second road and where they interconnect. a good moody autumn read
