The word is murder

The word is murder / Anthony Horowitz, read by Rory Kinnear, 390 pgs.

A wealthy woman is murdered the same day she does her pre-arranged funeral.  Her son, a famous actor is murdered after her funeral.  What is going on?  Ten years ago, the woman was involved in a hit and run accident that killed one small child and permanently injured his twin brother.  Are these killings revenge?  The police contract with Hawthorne, disgraced former detective who now does contract work.  He is interested in having a book written about his work and partners with the author.  Now they are a team, kind of, and they are working together despite not really knowing or liking each other too much.  Hawthorne is a brilliant investigator but the author wonders if he can do a better job solving the crime.  This is an interesting mystery that keeps you involved.  Wonderfully narrated by Rory Kinnear, the audio version is worth the time.
