About this episode

Anthony Horowitz discusses his latest mystery, A DEADLY EPISODE, and the intricacies of blending fiction with reality in his storytelling.

This week on Crime Wave: OMG.Anthony Horowitz and I discuss his latest mystery, A DEADLY EPISODE. In this sixth book in the Hawthorne & Horowitz series, a *fictional* television production of the first H&H mystery turns deadly when the actor playing Hawthorne is murdered. Horowitz once again inserts a version of himself into the story. Fiction and reality blur as Horowitz turns his trademark wit to create a cleverly layered whodunit that plays fair while constantly inviting the reader to question what’s real. He shares the inspiration behind the story, his love of classic whodunits, and the challenges of keeping readers guessing. It’s a sharp, entertaining look at how a master storyteller continues to reinvent the genre with plots that both honor and upend classic detective traditions. #podcast #author #interview #authors #CrimeWavePodcast #authorsontheair #podcast #podcaster #authors #authorsofig #authorsofinstagram #authorinterview #writingcommunity #suspensebooks #authorssupportingauthors #thrillerbooks #suspense #wip #writers #bookrecommendations #bookaddict #bookaddicted #bookaddiction #bibliophile #read #amreading #lovetoread #BonnarSpring #BonnarSpringBooks #bookouture…
