具体描述
One bright spring morning in London, Diana Cowper – the wealthy mother of a famous actor - enters a funeral parlor. She is there to plan her own service.
Six hours later she is found dead, strangled with a curtain cord in her own home.
Enter disgraced police detective Daniel Hawthorne, a brilliant, eccentric investigator who’s as quick with an insult as he is to crack a case. Hawthorne needs a ghost writer to document his life; a Watson to his Holmes. He chooses Anthony Horowitz.
Drawn in against his will, Horowitz soon finds himself a the center of a story he cannot control. Hawthorne is brusque, temperamental and annoying but even so his latest case with its many twists and turns proves irresistible. The writer and the detective form an unusual partnership. At the same time, it soon becomes clear that Hawthorne is hiding some dark secrets of his own.

##Books ???? are the greatest distractions.
评分##3.5星 因为现代侦探小说难写而鼓励0.5星。和喜鹊类似，作者仍采用了两个故事相扣的设计，可惜的是第一个故事和最后的谋杀案相差太远。不过第一个故事(车祸谜团）更有趣，颇有阿婆的小说韵味。
评分##核心诡计一般，Hawthorne人物倒挺形象。对英国影视圈的影射也挺有趣，自从看到书里写这个Damian演了《国土安全》后，后半部书都脑补Damian Lewis的脸了
评分##Books ???? are the greatest distractions.
评分##1. 强烈的元小说特点让这本书在构思上显得比传统侦探小说更为“现代”；2.（作为作者和叙述者的）Anthony与前警官Hawthorne的组合颇有向华生与福尔摩斯致敬的意思；3.悬念、红鲱鱼和反转的设置巧妙，我脑子笨硬是没猜出凶手；4.以及最后一章怎么写得那么可爱！
评分###2020ReadingChallenge01AmateurDetective 核心诡计平淡了一点但整本书有种whimsical的机智。希望写成系列啊，新时代的watson和sherlock。
评分##有些地方还蛮阿婆的；叙事比案件更有趣，也比较难得遇到地理和文化的reference都能看懂的书2333
评分##是我期望太高了吗，这本远不如喜鹊精彩，车祸这个appetite booster作者写的明显更用心，看起来也更有味道，3.5吧，希望下本好点
评分##故事不错，就是这种breaking the forth wall的写法有点烦人
