ONLINE with anna e il libro
We’ve already read a book from A. Horowitz’s mystery series, where Anthony (the narrator) is Horowitz’s sidekick.
Anthony is approached by ex-Detective Inspector Hawthorne, with whom he worked on a television series. Hawthorne, who is in need of money, proposes that Anthony write a book about him and one of the cases he is working on in exchange for a 50/50 split of the advance and royalties. The case involves a woman who, six hours after planning her own funeral, is found murdered. Initially reluctant, Anthony agrees and proceeds to document Hawthorne’s solution of the case.
Read up to the end of chapter 21 page 336 (“In fact, I wouldn’t have dinner at all”) and… together we will unravel the mystery.
If you wish to participate, please let us know per e-mail (info@il-libro.it). Thank you!
