About this listen
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Another Word For Murder by Anthony Horowitz, read by Rory Kinnear.
Death, deception, and a detective with quite a lot to hide: the second novel in the bestselling series starring Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne.
‘You shouldn’t be here. It’s too late…’
These were Richard Pryce's last words, overheard moments before the celeb divorce lawyer was bludgeoned to death with a £3,000 bottle of wine.
Strange circumstances pile up. Pryce was teetotal, so why this bottle? Why those words? Why did the killer paint a number on his wall? And, most importantly, which of the man’s many, many enemies did the deed?
Baffled, the police are forced to bring in Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne and his sidekick, the author Anthony, who’s really getting rather good at this murder investigation business.
But as Hawthorne takes on the case with characteristic relish, it becomes clear that he, too, has secrets to hide. Anthony knows they must be exposed – even at the risk of death…

Totally wonderful as I've learned to expect from Horowitz. Kinnear is fabulous (especially as Grunshaw)

a clever and meandering mystery
I found several of the character voice weird but overall the story was very good so that really didn't matter. I like the style as we follow Anthony's ups and downs and of course the clever way Hawthorn gathers his clues and soves the puzzle. I hope we find out a bit more about him.

Another winner from a master storyteller.
With a background of several award-winning TV shows, a Sherlock Homes follow-on and a James Bond novel (amongst many other books) to his credit, Anthony Horowitz is truly a master storyteller and this book is no disappointment. The narrator perfectly matches the mood and personality of the story and the characters. Hawthorn and Horowitz have a unique relationship which imbues the tale with humour and realism that is maintained throughout. Can't wait for the next in the series...if there is one.

Very entertaining. Excellent narrator
Thoroughly enjoyed this second book. Written in such an interesting way with the author as a main character. Really enjoyed Rory Kinnears narration - humorous and very enjoyable.

A brilliant series
Hawthorn is so vivid that I have to keep reminding myself that he isn't real. Because I'm a writer I identify with "Tony" as the writer character in the book, and keep getting infuriated by Hawthorn's behaviour until I remember that he is a fiction. The stories in this series are interesting and the writing is a work of art. Horowitz is a wizard in describing scenes and creating funny moments. All three books published are worth reading, listening and more than once in my view. I have more than one favourite author, Anthony H. is for sure among them. The audible performance is fantastic too.

Captivating Mystery with Great Performance
Horowitz has such a talent of creating character that are both compelling, and feel real. Listening to Horowitz and Hawthorn be brought to life by Rory Kinnear is such a joy, and I ended up finishing this in just a few days.

Good read
The narrator is fabulous but he is appalling at female voices…Grunshaw is a horrible and stupid DI!! The narrator doing her voice made me ill, I wanted to give up on the book.
Perhaps listen to Kerry Shale or Will Patton doing women…they get it right.

Just ok
I can't really warm to this series unfortunately. The characters aren't very likeable and the narrator absolutely butchers the female voices. They come out as petulant whiney imbeciles. His narration is good otherwise, but looses me whenever the women speak. The story is ok, but I think the dynamic between the two main characters needs something, it's just missing that spark so it's just meh for me.
