The Key Word is Murder

About This Novel
Not long after the famous novelist Anthony Horowitz finished the draft of "House of Silk", a new job suddenly came to his door. It was difficult to make money in the detective industry these days, so Hawthorne commissioned him to write a novel about the case he was investigating, splitting it 50-50. Horowitz was hesitant: Hawthorne was strange and a bit annoying. He wanted to include himself in the novel without revealing any personal information at all. How does this create a character? This is a detective novel. Without a good detective, no one would read it! Hawthorne shook his head: "I disagree. The key word is murder. That's the point." Then he revealed the mystery: One sunny morning, the famous actor's mother arranged a funeral for herself, and then that night she was attacked and died at home. Is this a coincidence? Impossible! But who could be the murderer and why should he kill her? Horowitz was curious.

good
It's a normal reasoning process, without any weird tricks. Also, do people who work as detectives have such egotistical personalities?
Not a traditional detective novel, similar to a detective diary
"No matter how much you resist, it's useless"😘The author uses clever writing techniques to highlight the image of Hawthorne, a wise, cunning, and angry detective😯
