Anthony Horowitz is definitely in the running for next in succession of the famous British mystery and suspense novel authors of AC Doyle (Sherlock Holmes), Agatha Christie (Hercule Poirot), and Ian Fleming (James Bond) . For mystery fans, this one, a mystery about a mystery book, is a must. The outer novella provides enough clear clues -- hidden amongst red herrings of course -- that if read carefully, it can be solved by the reader. The inner novella, it's not quite so reader solvable. The detective has access to clues the reader doesn't. But even the inner novella, if the logic is carefully followed, the solution of who did it can be narrowed down by the reader to two or three persons from the dozen or so potential candidates. Very much recommended, both in the book form and in the audio book format.
