International and New York Times bestselling author, as well as recipient of a CBE for his services to literature, Anthony Horowitz, discusses the new release in his Hawthorne and Horowitz series, A DEADLY EPISODE. The actor playing Hawthorne in the film adaptation of the first Hawthorne and Horowitz mystery novel is murdered. But was the actor the intended target, or is the real Hawthorne caught in the cross hairs of a killer? “…delicious dry humor with a rigorous fair-play whodunit…This series is in peak form.”―Publishers Weekly, (starred review)

Listen in as we chat about the distinction between the bonds we have and those we wish to have, the danger of becoming a pressed flower, and the moment when Antony comes up with a new plot idea for a future story! (And yes, it was a huge challenge to refrain from devolving into fangirl pudding throughout.)
