书籍简介

泰晤士河上的里士满是伦敦理想的居住地。而Riverview Close——一个安静、封闭的社区——似乎为其居民提供了美满的生活。

至少在贾尔斯·肯沃西(Giles Kenworthy)搬进来和他的妻子、吵闹的孩子、四辆耗油的汽车、喧闹的派对以及他计划在花园里建一个新游泳池之前是这样的。

他的邻居们都有理由恨他，很快就奋起反抗。

当肯沃西被枪杀时，他的脖子被弩箭穿过，所有人都受到怀疑，他的谋杀为谎言、欺骗和进一步的死亡打开了大门。

警方被难住了。无奈之下，他们叫来了前警探丹尼尔·霍桑。但就连他也面临着一个看似不可能的难题。

当每个人都有相同的动机时你如何破案?

Richmond Upon Thames is the desirable areas to live in London. And Riverview Close - a quiet, gated community – seems to offer its inhabitants the perfect life.

At least it does until Giles Kenworthy moves in with his wife and noisy children, his four gas-guzzling cars, his loud parties and his plans for a new swimming pool in his garden.

His neighbours all have a reason to hate him and are soon up in arms.

When Kenworthy is shot dead with a crossbow bolt through his neck, all of them come under suspicion and his murder opens the door to lies, deception and further death.

The police are baffled. Reluctantly, they call in former Detective Daniel Hawthorne. But even he is faced with a seemingly impossible puzzle.

How do you solve a murder when everyone has the same motive?
