Hey on the last day of the month, it finally snowed in New York! Huzzah! Dead Wind**** I can’t talk about why I like this book without even the mildest of spoilers if you’ve been following the series. So I’ll talk about what I appreciate. I’ve been in an on-and-off reading slump the last two months. It’s been hard to finish stuff. Tessa Wegert’s Shana Merchant series really feels like the exception to the rule. I like her writing, her pacing, her protagonist. All good. One […]

The second book in this metafictional British detective series.

The Sentence is Death (Hawthorne, #2) by Anthony Horowitz

December 30, 2019 by narfna Leave a Comment

Overall thoughts: *I read this really fast, and it was a fun read, what with “Anthony” being so frustrated at being behind Hawthorne in figuring out what was going on, and in his capacity as a real-life writer where we get fun glimpses into the behind the scenes life of someone who makes art and rubs shoulders with famous people but isn’t really all that famous himself. *I am still puzzled by Horowitz’s fictional but supposedly real detective. What is his deal? By that I […]
