- Playful, fair-play murder mysteries in which Anthony Horowitz writes himself in as the narrator, a Watson to Daniel Hawthorne, a rude, brilliant former detective, and mixes real details of his own career into the fiction.
- Each case stands alone, but the uneasy partnership develops, so order helps.
- The Word Is Murder starts it and is the only one here with enough ratings.
