Praise for Close to Death

Easily the greatest of our crime writers

Sunday Times

[Horowitz is] a master puppeteer

The Times

'A clever murder mystery…playful and twisty. Nobody does this crime fiction better than Anthony Horowitz

Crime Time FM

Spectacularly good fun, wickedly clever, with a pinch of the macabre, this is everything you could wish for from one of our top crime writers

The Sun

Turns the closed-circle mystery inside out

New York Journal of Books

The master of the mystery

Style

The king of the clever whodunnit

Good Housekeeping

An excellent entertaining thriller

The Afterword

Gloriously artificial, improbable, and ingenious. Fans of both versions of Horowitz will rejoice

Kirkus Reviews

An absolutely engrossing tale ... Kudos to anyone who can figure this one out!
