Why did Nathan love this book?
I love this author’s adult work, especially his Atticus Pünd mysteries, in which he inserts a book within a book. The Twist of a Knife is a good old-fashioned crime/detective mystery in which the main character is a semi-fictionalized version of the author who teams up with an enigmatic detective to solve crimes in London.
Not only are many of the settings familiar to me, but Horowitz also loves wordplay and puns, and often anagrams provide clues to unravel the mystery.
It is the fourth in a series and I am excited to learn that a new one is on the way shortly.
