About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
A Sunday Times bestseller
How do you solve a murder... when everyone has the same motive? From global bestselling Anthony Horowitz, a brilliantly entertaining mystery in the Hawthorne and Horowitz series.
Richmond Upon Thames is one of the most desirable areas to live in London. And Riverview Close - a quiet, gated community – seems to offer its inhabitants the perfect life.
At least it does until Giles Kenworthy moves in with his wife and noisy children, his four gas-guzzling cars, his loud parties and his plans for a new swimming pool in his garden.
His neighbours all have a reason to hate him and are soon up in arms.
When Kenworthy is shot dead with a crossbow bolt through his neck, all of them come under suspicion and his murder opens the door to lies, deception and further death.
The police are baffled. Reluctantly, they call in former Detective Daniel Hawthorne. But even he is faced with a seemingly impossible puzzle.
How do you solve a murder when everyone has the same motive?

'The master of the mystery' Style
'The king of the clever whodunnit' Good Housekeeping

A perfect murder mystery with enough twists and turns to keep the reader hooked !!
The plot and the detection makes this a unique book. In the end you do realize that the outcome arrived at was the only possible one though :)

Best of the series so far
I have listened to all the 4 Horowitz books yet, and this was, by far, the best of the series. The story has all the twists and turns a good murder mystery must have. And Rory Kinnear’s reading style adds so much more to the story that it gets hard to set the book aside once you start listening to it! Well done!

A riveting murder mystery
I liked the twists and turns and the uncertainty until the last moment. Hawthorne is still very much Hawthorne
