You get to read the whole of the detective story by the fictional author as well... heh heh. Two mysteries for the price of one.
Anthony Horowitz tends to place himself and his family in some of his detective books. This time, he leaves the poor folk in reality. It makes the story a bit better this way, I think. That stuff is clever-clever, not necessarily more entertaining.
