She planned her own funeral. But did she arrange her murder?
Buried secrets, murder and a trail of bloody clues lie at the heart of Anthony Horowitz's new detective series. If you enjoyed BBC's Sherlock, you'll love The Word is Murder!
A wealthy woman strangled six hours after she's arranged her own funeral.
A very private detective uncovering secrets but hiding his own.
A reluctant author drawn into a story he can't control.
What do they have in common?

diverting and pleasant

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Rory Kinnear. His voice range for male characters was spot on. It was easy to differentiate between characters. He is well-suited for this book.
Would recommend to those who love British crime works or those who like mysteries with a literary bent. This will not disappoint. Plus the next book in series is due out later this year.
An addictive read

What made the experience of listening to The Word Is Murder the most enjoyable?
A masterfully crafted book by Horowitz and shifts the genre of whodunits by blending in fiction with non-fiction. The central protagonist is the author himself here and over the course of the book, weaves in a murder mystery skillfully introducing the grump detective Hawthorne and a paraphernalia of characters, Christie-style with Holmesian bits thrown in. All in all, a fine and dandy book to read and would tax your grey cells a bit.Also, brilliant narration! Kudos
Who was your favorite character and why?

In the manner of Dr.Watson's side kick to Sherlock Holmes, Anthony Horowitz shadows ex Met.detective Hawthorne as he investigates the case of a woman who is murdered six hours after entering an undertaker's to arrange her own funeral.
The author's writing is simple, even elegant, in contradiction to the complexity of the plot. plus the author's inclusion of himself as a character works really well, allowing for humour and distractions to be given to the reader. Rory Kinnear as narrator is excellent, distinctly differentiating between the character voices and reading with clarity, involvement, warmth and good modulation. A fine performance which further enhanced an already enjoyable book.
A most enjoyable read

I loved the incorporation of real into fictional and think it’s fabulously clever!
Great murder mystery

This is not at all the kind of book I was expecting; it reads like the -very uninteresting- memoirs of a television writer (and going back and re-reading those rave reviews, I suppose that is indeed partly true), and I'm led to believe that this literary device is meant to be somehow "meta", or "post" or even witty!
Sadly, for this reader, it's none of those, it's merely self-indulgent and alienating.
The narrator's flat delivery does little to enliven the dreariness.
A disappointment
