The Word Is Murder by Anthony HorowitzMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Very meta book. Follows a character named Anthony Horowitz who writes successful YA literature who is challenged to write a "real" book. He grudgingly agrees to work as amanuesis to a former Metropolitan Police detective who is investigating the death of an older woman who is murdered the same day she had paid for and set up her own funeral.
Interesting concept. I wonder if he'll continue with this as a series. The characters are not particularly charming, and he's very clearly used to writing pop-teen fiction which is occasionally a little annoying, but it's a fun puzzle to work on.
