Narrated by Rory Kinnear
The New York Times bestselling author of the brilliantly inventive The Word Is Murder and The Sentence Is Death returns with his third literary whodunit featuring intrepid detectives Hawthorne and Horowitz.
When Ex-Detective Inspector Daniel Hawthorne and his sidekick, author Anthony Horowitz, are invited to an exclusive literary festival on Alderney, an idyllic island off the south coast of England, they don’t expect to find themselves in the middle of murder investigation—or to be trapped with a cold-blooded killer in a remote place with a murky, haunted past.
Arriving on Alderney, Hawthorne and Horowitz soon meet the festival’s other guests—an eccentric gathering that includes a bestselling children’s author, a French poet, a TV chef turned cookbook author, a blind psychic, and a war historian—along with a group of ornery locals embroiled in an escalating feud over a disruptive power line.
When a local grandee is found dead under mysterious circumstances, Hawthorne and Horowitz become embroiled in the case. The island is locked down, no one is allowed on or off, and it soon becomes horribly clear that a murderer lurks in their midst. But who?
Both a brilliant satire on the world of books and writers and an immensely enjoyable locked-room mystery, A Line to Kill is a triumph—a riddle of a story full of brilliant misdirection, beautifully set-out clues, and diabolically clever denouements.

I adore Horowitz’ series about Hawthorne. Can’t wait for the next one!!

Irriterande nog hade jag för en gångs skull skrivit en lång och utförlig recension när telefonen hickade till och raderade alltihop.. Kort sagt är det en bra bok även om den inte är lika stark som de föregående. Klart värd att lyssna på.

A bit disappointing after 2 amazing books. The case and the events leading to it felt forced and the ending was even worse. The narrator was great which the only thing that kept me finishing the book.

Mysig med lite torr humor. Inte lika bra som de tidigare delarna, tycker jag

En underhållande trilogi på temat Sherlock Holmes och doktor Watson fast i detta fall är deltagarna författaren själv (under ett alias) tillsammans med en fiktiv f.d. polis. Historierna har många ledtrådar och det skulle teoretiskt vara möjligt att lösa fallen innan Hawthorn (f.d. polisen) berättar vem mördaren är. Det som stört mig i samtliga historier är att Horowitz alias (författaren) är mer än lovligt trög och Hawthorn (f.d. polisen) är mer fyrkantig än vad som verkar nödvändigt.

Som en samtida Agatha Christie! Underhållande, klurig och väl läst av Rory Kinnear.

Har sträckläst de tre första berättelserna i serien. Perfekt för alla som älskar pusseldeckare i stil med sherlock Holmes, poirot och kommisarie gamache. Rory kinnear är en fantastisk uppläsare!
