An entertaining and satisfying masterpiece submitted by kkjammers on June 19, 2023, 6:33pm Anthony Horowitz’s murder mystery The Twist of a Knife is another spectacularly intricate and perfectly constructed novel. Horowitz includes many references to London locations, other literature, and his past works. I am in awe of his genius. I appreciate that Horowitz can entertain the reader on a more superficial level, as well as satisfy those who become immersed in the details presented.

Entertaining but disappointing end submitted by robynegg on July 10, 2023, 11:45pm This book was really entertaining and fun to read, but ultimately the murder solution doesn't make a lot of sense. There are about five too many coincidences.

A Fun Read submitted by teri on July 26, 2023, 10:00am It's fun to read a book where the author (especially Horowitz) uses himself as the main character - and Horowitz makes many entertaining references to other real-life actors and television/theater productions. "The Twist of a Knife" was a good read - although I liked his other Horowitz/Hawthorne mysteries (Word is Murder, Sentence is Death) a bit more than this one.
