I discovered Hawthorne and Horowitz Mysteries a few years ago much to my delight. The Twist of a Knife is #4 in the series that has 5 books in it at present, although the author has said there are more planned in the future. Hawthorne is a former police detective in London and now works as a private investigator. These are unique because Horowitz puts himself in the story as the side kick to Hawthorne who has asked him to write books about him as he solves cases. The reader gets a unique look into the frustrations and insights of a somewhat unobservant companion to a brilliant detective. Horowitz inserts many things about his personal life in these stories that it makes you wonder if they are true and not fiction. My favorite part of mystery series are the reoccurring characters. Hawthorne is a well developed and there is a lot of mystery surrounding his history which makes reading the story engaging and so interesting.
I listened to the audio book version and the narrator did a wonderful job. His voices of the characters really brought them to life for me.
