About This Novel
The latest bestseller from Anthony Horowitz, author of "The Magpie Murders"! An exquisite and elegant private residence, a confusing serial murder case, and a shocking secret that has been buried for many years! This time, the writer and detective acted separately for the first time to explore the truth in different time and space. Are these happy enemies finally breaking up? In the Richmond district on the banks of the Thames, Riverview Court is a model of urban life with six tightly gated mansions and exquisite gardens. However, the arrival of the Kenworthy family changed everything - four luxury cars with roaring engines and noisy children soon broke the tranquility of the community. Loud late-night parties, blaring pop music, and a swimming pool construction plan that was opposed by everyone reduced the idyll of Riverview Garden to ashes... When Kenworthy died unexpectedly, all the neighbors became suspects. This murder opened a door, and lies and deception followed, and more deaths followed. The police were helpless. In desperation, former police detective Daniel Hawthorne was invited to take action. However, even he is faced with a seemingly unsolvable puzzle: when everyone has a motive for murder, how to solve the murder case? "The Hawthorne Detectives" Book Five. A feast of classic detective novels. Double puzzle, triple reversal.

It is actually a story where the reasoning is successful but the murderer cannot be brought to justice!! What a pity and admiration!
Anthony Horowitz (1955/4/5-Now) is a famous British novelist and screenwriter, known as "the inheritor and defender of the golden age of detective novels." After searching the author's works, I found out that it has a lot of background. Many of them have been adapted into movies and TV series, including 007. The whole process of the murderer's meticulous planning is really surprising. However, although the detective successfully deduced and uncovered the entire crime process, details and minor flaws, he fell short in the final blow. The materials prepared by the murderer in advance allowed them to escape. At this time, it always makes people hate it. It is a mystery novel worth recommending.
