“I’m sorry but the answer’s no.” Reluctant author, Anthony Horowitz, has had enough. He tells ex-detective Daniel Hawthorne that after three books he’s splitting and their deal is over. The truth is that Anthony has other things on his mind. His new play, a thriller called Mindgame, is about to open at the Vaudeville Theater in London’s West End. Not surprisingly, Hawthorne declines a ticket to the opening night. The play is panned by the critics. In particular, Sunday Times critic Margaret Throsby gives it a savage review, focusing particularly on the writing.

This was a pleasure. Rory Kinnear voiced this to perfection. All the subtle humor was enhanced and the pace was kept lively with his vocal talent.
I had read the book and enjoyed the Audible version much more, finding I had missed some of the innuendos and for me listening to the spoken accents of the characters made for a very entertaining book.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,162
LAPD Homicide Lieutenant Milo Sturgis is a master detective. He has a near-perfect solve rate, and he’s written his own rule book. Some of those successes - the toughest ones - have involved his best friend, the brilliant Psychologist Alex Delaware. But Milo doesn’t call Alex in unless cases are "different". This murder warrants an immediate call. Milo’s independence has been compromised as never before, as the department pressures him to cater to the demands of a mogul: a hard-to-fathom, megarich young woman who is obsessed with reopening the coldest of cases.

Kellerman's mysteries are excellent but Rubinstein's narration brings the characters to life so well I feel like these are my dear friends. Can't wait to listen to their latest adventure.
