Description

The Word Is Murder is the first installment of the Hawthorne series from bestselling author Anthony Horowitz, published by Arrow. Known for clever twists and razor-sharp dialogue, Horowitz brings his storytelling expertise to a fresh detective, Daniel Hawthorne, whose talent for solving crimes is matched only by his secret-keeping nature. A woman arranges her own funeral and is found strangled six hours later. The mystery deepens as readers wonder whether she anticipated her death and if she recognized her killer. Horowitz layers red herrings and clues, guiding Hawthorne and his writing partner through a maze of lies, hidden motives, and a trail of bloody evidence that keeps the pages turning. Fans of crime, thrillers and classic whodunits will appreciate the fast-paced narrative, vivid characters, and the satisfying payoff that makes the book hard to put down. The story delivers the tension of a seasoned detective novel while remaining accessible for new readers. Choosing the Arrow edition means receiving a brand-new, high-quality paperback that arrives ready to join any mystery collection. It also makes a great gift for anyone who loves a well-crafted puzzle and a clever, unexpected conclusion.
