I delay as much as I can reading anything by Horowitz. This is only due to the fact that I devour his books in no time at all and I never want them to end. This mystery proved the same. Now, I must wait again for his next book. I truly love the banter between Hawthorne and Horowitz (the fictional version of the author) and find myself smiling throughout the story. The twists and turns are brilliant and as someone who truly appreciates the art of a writing a mystery novel, Horowitz is one of the best.
