Close To Death by Anthony Horowitz

Set eight years earlier in an unusual location of a seemingly idyllic gated community. The peace is however shattered when a new resident, widely disliked by all his neighbours for his brash personality and utter lack of neighbourliness , he is soon found murdered. With a closed pool of suspects, i.e., the residents, Hawthorne is called in to investigate a case where everyone seems to have a motive. The story explores the secrets and dark sides that lurk beneath the surface. Eight years later Horthorne hands the story to Annoy to write. Anothony however ends up with a story without and ending and Howthone missing. This leads to Anthony investigating both the murder and Howthorne's past; possibly with disasterous consequences. A slightly darker novel with the usually complex denouement. But there is also a dark suprise, with trump's the summon gathering. 4/5
