The Word is Murder
Did I mention I love mysteries? It's one of my go-to genres for busting up reading slumps and for general book enjoyment. Anthony Horowitz seems to write a really good mystery. I read Magpie Murders after it came out years ago and loved it. It was so good I bought The Word is Murder and then set it aside, thinking I would save it for a rainy day. Bookstagram let me know that Anthony Horowitz is coming out with a new book and I realized I hadn't picked up The Word... yet. I pulled it off my shelf on an actual rainy day and was completely absorbed. A woman walks into a funeral parlor, plans out her funeral, and is murdered later that day. It's an interesting premise for sure, but I really loved the way Horowitz himself (well, kind of) helps solve the murder. I said in my Instagram review that it gave me Inception and Fletch vibes so of course, I loved it. Authors who play with form and don't take themselves too seriously and still manage to pull all of that
