About this listen
She planned her own funeral. But did she arrange her murder?
Buried secrets, murder and a trail of bloody clues lie at the heart of Anthony Horowitz's new detective series. If you enjoyed BBC's Sherlock, you'll love The Word is Murder!
A wealthy woman strangled six hours after she's arranged her own funeral.
A very private detective uncovering secrets but hiding his own.
A reluctant author drawn into a story he can't control.
What do they have in common?

Good story excellently narrated
Rory Kinnear's narration transforms this already good story into a great listen. The mystery itself is well constructed, lots of little clues sprinkled throughout, lots of red herrings. Interesting structure, too, with the author inserting himself into the narrative.

The Superior Human Brain
Engaging calculating forbidding moving intricate bloody unforgiving - the author draws blood then returns to the objective space skilfully - I’m a fan now - only one suggestion: dig deeper into the flesh and heart of the characters created

Enjoyable form start to finish
I loved the structure, where the author inserts himself into the story. The character of Hawthorne was intriguing. And the mystery was top notch. Great writing and a great unexpected reveal at the end.

Story of a homophobic know it all Brit detective
As a literary detective I tried to figure out the mystery but it was all for vain. I might have figured out one simple tragedy but I was still unable to figure out real mystery. Wonderful murder mystery, a little oxymoronic I know. A well laid out smokescreen of a mystery to hide the real murder mystery. Loved every second of it.

story was good but narrator was just ok
narrator's accent for Hawthorne was horrible. totally incomprehensible. why would you do that for the main character was beyond me.

Decent narration, disappointing story
Good narration, disappointing story. The characters, both the suspects and the investigators, are simply unpleasant.
