The Sentence is Death

Yeah, great read This author, I like him Not per definition a crime reader I am, but from Magpie Murders I m kinda hooked on Horowitz Utterly entertaining Witty, clever, easy read whodunnit , though I did not see it all coming 4.3 maybe Loved it Let 3 on private investigator Hawthorne aka Holmes and his assistant Watson come soon This series is recommended
