Close to Death
Ratings27
Average rating4.2
Close to Death is book 5 in the Hawthorne and Horowitz series.
The format of the book is different from its predecessors, in that it's mostly written in the third person.
Tasked with having to write a new Hawthorne and Horowitz book, but with no case to write about, Anthony decides to write up a case from five years previously, one to which Hawthorne and his then sidekick, John Dudley, had been called in to assist on. How hard can it be, right? Well, nothing is ever straightforward for Anthony.
I liked the new format, and I really enjoyed Close to Death. It is a typical cosy mystery that thoroughly engaged me, and kept me guessing right to the end.
Excepting Hawthorne and Horowitz, and John Dudley, none of the characters were particularly likeable. I certainly wouldn't want to live next door to any of them.
Close to Death will be published in April 2024.
Thanks to Random House, Cornerstone and Netgalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
