The Word Is Murder: A Novel

"One of my coworkers refers to books she knows she should read (but doesn’t want to) as “nutritious,” which makes Anthony Horowitz’s detective novels roughly equivalent to a deeply satisfying piece of dark chocolate – candy, but with a hint of real depth. Horowitz was the creator of the cult-favorite British TV show Foyle’s War, and the novels he’s put out since deliver similar gumshoe pleasures, updated with new twists on the formula. In The Word Is Murder, a fictional Anthony Horowitz is ghostwriting a book in real time for a private eye on the case of a woman who seems to have predicted her own murder. What could be cozier?"
