The Hawthorne series has been enjoyable - particularly the first few books but the later ones have had definite issues. This one has a time jump aspect and it just didn't work for me. It also meant that the whole author as Watson sidekick thing was mostly absent and that's what gives this series it's unique twist. I did like the conclusion though. It's cosy fun but the first books are better. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: In New York Times bestselling author Anthony Horowitz's ingenious fifth literary whodunnit in the Hawthorne and Horowitz series, Detective Hawthorne is once again called upon to solve an unsolvable case—a gruesome murder in an idyllic gated community in which suspects abound. Riverside Close is a picture-perfect community. The six exclusive and attractive houses are tucked far away from the noise and grime of city life, allowing the residents to enjoy beautiful gardens, pleasant birdsong, and tranquility from behind the security of a locked gate. It is the perfect idyll, until the Kentworthy family arrives, with their four giant, gas-guzzling cars, gaggle of shrieking children, and plans for a garish swimming pool in the backyard. Obvious outsiders, the Kentworthys do not belong in Riverside Close, and quickly offend every last one of the neighbors. When Giles Kentworthy is found dead on his own doorstep, a crossbow bolt sticking out of his chest, Detective Hawthorne is the only investigator they can call to solve the case. Because how do you solve a murder when everyone is a suspect? .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I thought the set-up for the murder was well done: as the cover says, all the suspects had the same motive, so it all came down to method and opportunity. Horowitz reflects on how locked room mysteries can be too unemotional and all about mechanics, and I did find that the case here in the end - was this intended as deep irony?
This was a quick easy read and I think I will go back and start at the beginning. ( )
