  1. Anthony Horowitz admits he uses the plagiarism regurgitron:

    ETA: touting the "human need for absolute truth" while using ChatGPT in his writing speaks volumes. Cognitive dissonance? what cognitive dissonance?

  2. I don't usually write reviews on Goodreads, but I loathed "Magpie Murders" by Anthony Horowitz so much that it was called for.

    "Ok, I'm done with Anthony Horowitz. "Moriarty" was underwhelming, and "Magpie Murders"was straight up infuriating.
    For such a "prolific" author, the completely erroneous vocabulary choices are inexcusable. How, pray tell, was Joy's letter on the noticeboard in any way an admission of "infidelity"?
    And the "golden age" detective / author name-dropping is bad enough without being repeated LITERALLY ad nauseum and then ONE MORE TIME just to make sure we GET IT and appreciate how clever the author is and how stupid he thinks his readers are. I feel like his (under-developed) female sleuth: clobbered over the head and broken ribs - not from being kicked - but the constant "did you catch that reference?" elbowing."

  8. "She had been sitting in the kitchen ever since, watching the sun rise over her garden and, beyond it, the ruins of Saxby Castle, a thirteenth-century structure which gave pleasure to the many hundreds of amateur historians who visited it but which cut out the sunlight every afternoon, casting a long shadow over the house" - Magpie Murders (ch 3), Anthony Horowitz

    I hope the murder mystery makes a little more sense than the way the sun moves

  9. Just finished Close To Death by Anthony Horowitz. This is the fifth book in the Daniel Hawthorne series and I felt that it was not as good as the previous four. However it does expose more about the past of Hawthorne.

    Daniel Hawthorne is an ex-police detective who has coerced Anthony Horowitz in to writing books about murders he solves when he is called in by the police. Horowitz himself is a character in the each book.

  10. @Rozzychan Sherlock Holmes...have you read the Mycroft Holmes and Sherlock series by #KareemAbdulJabbar? #AnthonyHorowitz did a good job with his Holmes books as well. I liked them all.📚
