Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Twist of the Knife is a 2022 novel by Anthony Horowitz.It is the fourth in his series of Daniel Hawthorne Novels, detective stories that feature Anthony Horowitz himself as The Watson. As this one starts, Anthony is categorically refusing to write a fourth book about the exploits of (fictional) private detective Daniel Hawthorne, despite Hawthorne pestering him to do so. Anthony has moved on to other things. He is writing a non-Hawthorne book, Moonflower Murders, and he has a play coming out. The play is called Mindgame and is a comedy-thriller about a reporter who goes to an insane asylum and finds that all is not as it seems.As it turns out, all is not as it seems with Anthony's play. He is nervous when notoriously caustic critic Harriet Throsby turns up on opening night to review the show. Sure enough, Harriet goes home and writes a viciously negative review of the play that is filled with gratuitous insults. The next morning, Harriet Throsby is murdered! That's bad, but what's much worse for Anthony is when he's arrested and charged with Throsby's murder. Anthony knows he didn't do it, but who did? Ahmet Yurdakul, his producer, whose business is riding on the success of Anthony's play? Jordan Williams, the lead actor? Ewan Lloyd, the director, who's trying to make a comeback in London theater? Harriet's husband, Arthur? Or someone else?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })To find out, Anthony turns to the one person who can get him out of this mess: Hawthorne. | |

Author Avatar: Once again, Anthony Horowitz writes himself into the Hawthorne series as the narrator and Hawthorne's Watson. And beyond simply being a character, Horowitz uses details from his real life: Mindgame was a real play, although it ran on the London stage in 1999 rather than 2018 like in this book. | |

Bucket Booby-Trap: A deadly serious one, in the backstory. Stephen Longhurst and his friend Wayne Howard, boys of 10 and 11 respectively, rigged up a bust of Cicero atop the door of their school's headmaster, Philip Alden. It fell on his head, cracked his skull, and killed him. | |

Asshole Victim: Harriet Throsby. Not just a mean and nasty critic, but a homophobe and a cruel writer. The ending reveals that it's likely, if not certain, that back in theday she killed drama critic Frank Heywood so she could get his job. | |
