ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Word Is Murder by Anthony Horowitz is a gripping crime novel that blends traditional detective fiction with metafiction. The story follows a writer who becomes involved in investigating the mysterious murder of Diana Cooper, a woman who arranges her own funeral just hours before her death. Alongside Detective Daniel Hawthorne, an enigmatic former investigator, the writer delves into a web of secrets, personal rivalries, and complex relationships. The book explores themes of deception, the nature of truth, and the blurred lines between reality and fiction, with clever twists and a unique narrative style that keeps readers guessing.
