If the list gets too long – and it invariably gets that way on the left-hand side – the page stops being imaginary and I take real notes’.Īccording to Lezard, Horowitz knows what he’s doing and has produced a ‘hugely enjoyable story, which has everything in it we want from Bond, and more’. Nicholas Lezard, for example, writing in the London Evening Standard (‘Reborn Bond is back at his best’, 3rd September), said it’s his practice – when reviewing a new entry in any continuity franchise – to draw a line down the centre of an imaginary page: ‘On the left I list everything that’s a bit off or out of kilter, and on the right everything I guess the original writer would have been happy with or even proud of. The new James novel Trigger Mortis, penned by Anthony Horowitz, has received some very good reviews from the critics, who have generally praised the new story as one of the best attempts so far at capturing the spirit and style of the original Ian Fleming thrillers.Ĭritics in the UK have been especially positive about the new book.
