He graduated from the University of York and published his first book, Enter Frederick K. Bower (1979), when he was 23. Anthony writes mostly children's books, including the Alex Rider series, The Power of Five series, and the Diamond Brothers series.

Most recently he was commissioned by the Ian Fleming Estate to write the James Bond novel Trigger Mortis. Anthony was awarded Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to literature in January 2014. (Source: Bowker Author Biography) Similar Resources: Discussion Questions: 1. Anthony Horowitz's acknowledgements say, "Writing this book has been a joy and my hope is that I will have done some justice to the original." From what you know of Arthur Conan Doyle's novels, how does Anthony Horowitz's version compare? 2. "Holmes, you insist upon seeing yourself as a machine." — John Watson. Do you believe this to be so? Or do you think that Dr. Watson is oversimplifying Holmes character based on previously solved cases? 3. What were your reactions to the realization of what the House of Silk was and what it entailed? Some early novelists insisted that murder was the worst of crimes: has murder been devalued so much that other things are needed to shock readers? 4.

  • The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz It Is 1890
    The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz It is 1890. A year after Sherlock Holmes's death, Watson – now in a retirement home – narrates a tale of Sherlockian detection that could tear apart the very fabric of society. The story opens with a train robbery in Boston, and moves to the innocuous setting of Wimbledon. Why you'll like it: Historical mystery, intricately plotted, fast-paced, suspenseful. About the Author: Author and television scriptwriter Anthony Horowitz was born in Stanmore, England on April 5, 1956. He writes mostly children's books, including the Alex Rider series, The Power of Five series, and the Diamond Brothers series. He also writes novels for adults including The Killing Joke and The Magpie Murders. He has created Foyle's War and Midsomer Murders for television as well as written episodes for Poirot and Murder Most Horrid. (Bowker Author Biography) Questions for Discussion 1. Do you think that you need to have read the original Sherlock Holmes novels to enjoy The House of Silk? Do you feel that the new author set the tone of the book correctly? Did Horowitz bring a new dimension to the characters? 2. Holmes's way of looking at people, making a grand statement and then explaining it based on his observations, is meant to convey to you the idea that he sees things that you, the reader, cannot see and from these observations he makes calculated guesses based on his knowledge, which you do not share. Does that still work now, that we have televised sleuthing and we are used to seeing the evidence that the detective sees? 3.

  • Magpie Murders Anthony Horowitz
    Magpie Murders Anthony Horowitz Discussion Questions 1. Talk about the characters, both good and bad. Describe their personalities and motivations. Are they fully de- veloped and emotionally complex? Or are they flat, one-dimensional heroes and villains? 2. What do you know...and when do you know it? At what point in the book do you begin to piece together what happened? 3. Good crime writers embed hidden clues in plain sight, slipping them in casually, almost in passing. Did you pick them out, or were you...clueless? Once you've finished the book, go back to locate the clues hidden in plain sight. How skilful was the author in burying them? 4. Good crime writers also tease us with red-herrings—false clues—to purposely lead readers astray? Does your author try to throw you off track? If so, were you tripped up? 5. Talk about the twists & turns—those surprising plot developments that throw everything you think you've fig- ured out into disarray. Do they enhance the story, add complexity, and build suspense? Are they plausible or im- plausible? 6. Does the author ratchet up the suspense? Did you find yourself anxious—quickly turning pages to learn what happened? A what point does the suspense start to build? Where does it climax...then perhaps start rising again? 7. Are there certain passages in the book—ideas, descriptions, or dialogue—that you found interesting or revealing...or that somehow struck you? What lines, if any, made you stop and think? 8. Overall, does the book satisfy? Does it live up to the standards of a good crime story or suspense thriller? Why or why not? Magpie Murders Anthony Horowitz About the Author Anthony Horowitz, OBE is a prolific English novelist and screenwriter specialising in mystery and suspense.

    FUNERAL VOICES When the doorbell rings at three in the morning, it’s never good news. Alex Rider was woken by the first chime. His eyes flickered open but for a moment he stayed completely still in his bed, lying on his back with his head resting on the pillow. He heard a bed- room door open and a creak of wood as somebody went downstairs. The bell rang a second time and he looked at the alarm clock glowing beside him. 3.02 a.m. There was a rattle as someone slid the security chain off the front door. He rolled out of bed and walked over to the open window, his bare feet pressing down the carpet pile. The moonlight spilled on to his chest and shoulders. Alex was fourteen, already well- built, with the body of an athlete. His hair, cut 9 short apart from two thick strands hanging over his forehead, was fair. His eyes were brown and serious. For a moment he stood silently, half- hidden in the shadow, looking out. There was a police car parked outside. From his second-floor window Alex could see the black ID number on the roof and the caps of the two men who were stand- ing in front of the door. The porch light went on and, at the same time, the door opened. “Mrs Rider?” “No. I’m the housekeeper. What is it? What’s happened?” “This is the home of Mr Ian Rider?” “Yes.” “I wonder if we could come in…” And Alex already knew.
