The Twist of a Knife by Anthony Horowitz -- BOOK BEGINNINGS

BOOK BEGINNINGS ON FRIDAYS

Thank you for joining me on Book Beginnings on Fridays to share the opening sentence (or so) from the book you are reading this week. You can also share from a book that caught your fancy, even if you are not reading it right now. 

MY BOOK BEGINNING

"I'm sorry, Hawthorne. But the answer's no. Our deal is over."

-- from The Twist of a Knife by Anthony Horowitz. 

This is the latest -- the fourth -- book in Anthony Horowitz's "Hawthorne & Horowitz" series. I loved the first three and this one is just as much fun. The premise is that Anthony Horowitz is a character in the books, playing himself. Detective Hawthorne, a retired police office brought in to consult on cases, hires Horowitz to write "true crime" books about the murder cases he's working on. I love them!

MY FRIDAY 56

From The Twist of a Knife:
"But you've got to see things from my point of view. You can't have a main character who doesn't give anything away, and frankly, being with you, I feel I'm up against a brick wall.”

FROM THE PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION

In New York Times bestselling author Anthony Horowitz’s ingenious fourth literary whodunit following The Word is Murder, The Sentence is Death, and A Line to Kill, Horowitz becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation—and only one man can prove his innocence: his newly estranged partner in solving crime, Detective Hawthorne.
