    About this audiobook

    When bestselling thriller writer Andrew Danner wakes up in a hospital bed with no idea how he got there, he is horrified to be told that he is responsible for the murder of his ex-fiancee. In the resulting celebrity trial, Drew is exonerated on the grounds of temporary insanity caused by a recent brain tumour. But he still has no idea if he did kill Genevieve, and is desperate to find out. Haunted by what appear to be his bizarre night-time actions - did he really cut his own foot with a knife? - Drew is shocked when another woman is discovered dead, murdered in the same way as Genevieve.

    Trying to clear his name and understand what's happening to him, Drew enlists the help of a tame forensic scientist, a sympathetic detective, his staunch friend Chic who has helpful underworld connections, and an over-confident teenager. Can Drew discover what really happened that night and unmask the real killer?

      This was an amazing book. Drew Danner is a LA crime novelist who awakens one day to find himself living in one his own novels so to speak. He has had brain surgery to remove a tumor and is also arrested for the gruesome murder of his former fiance. Drew is pretty sure he didn't kill her but did the brain tumor make him forget, or is someone trying to frame him? It's pretty bleak for Drew because he was found having convulsions at the murder scene and his fingerprints are on the murder weapon. Not too long after, another woman is murdered in the same manner and he wonders who is going to all this trouble to set him up or is he actually guilty of murder?Fortunately, he has a few police detectives, forensic experts, and other friends who try to help him figure out what happened. Excellent read!

      To a certain extent, the book is indeed formulaic. That is, the same pattern essentially repeats itself several times within the narrative. Yet, still, it is an engaging read, and the central plot really kept my interest. I was left guessing to the very end as to whether or not he killed her, and the twist is definitely one I didn't see coming. Definitely one worth the read.

      Reading anything I can get my hands on by Gregg Hurwitz. Unfortunately some of his early stuff, like this one, shows the growing pains that he went through to get where he is now. Still some great humor and lines. Just not one of his best.
    • 4/5
      The story for this book follows a plot that is not that uncommon for a mystery. Drew Danner wakes up in a hospital after being found unconscious lying over a murdered woman's body. Her blood is under his finger nails and, by the way, she happens to be his ex-fiance. The twist to Gregg Hurwitz's The Crime Writer is that Drew is a famous mystery author and the events surrounding him begin to sound like a mystery that he himself has written. Is he guilty or innocent? Even Drew is not sure.

      Definitely a fast paced and fun listen. I had a hard time putting this one down.
    • 5/5
      This is a fantastic modern take on an old-fashioned LA noir. Drew is a writer of best-selling thrillers, one of which was even made into a very bad movie. He wakes up in a hospital bed with stitches in his scalp and no memory of the preceding day. He may or may not have murdered his ex-fiance. The Crime Writer used as many worn-out plot standards as possible and manages to both wink with the reader and to make those same contrivances fresh and interesting. It helps that Hurwitz created a fantastic protagonist, charming and believable.
    • 5/5
      Gregg's best published book to date. The character development, the plotting, the ambience -- all of it pulls together so tightly, so smoothly. I want to meet that character again. Will we get the opportunity?
    • 3/5
      The Crime Writer is a slow yarn of a tale, often times diverting from the main story track into interesting, but irrevelant diatribes about L.A. society. At times I did not mind the distraction, but it happened so frequently that the story lost its urgency. The writing itself did have an authentic Southern California feel to it. The ending was uniquely satisfying. I certainly did not predict what ultimately happened, although upon consideration, such a foundation was laid out througout the book. The characters are not the type of people I generally identify with, but I liked their struggles, and frustration with life and cheered the predictable triumph of the geniunely good people in the book, so it was an overall entertaining read. Particularly notable are the characters of Caroline, a social worker recovering from a disturbingly violent incident and Junior, a streetwise 14 year old boy, who dispite his obvious disadvantages, has a love of life and (yes) dogs.Andrew Danner is a writer who finds himself the prime murder suspect in the deaths of two women. He is recovering from a brain tumor so he honestly doesn't know if he committed the first murder of his ex-girlfriend, (even though he was discovered looming over her dead body holding the murder weapon knife) but he is sure he is being framed for the second one, a women he did not even know. The problem is, the police have no desire to help him because they are confident he is the killer. Any motive for framing him is less then obvious. So Andrew must use his research skills and his personal connections to ferret out the the truth of the murders and hopefully, prove his own innocence.

      Drew Danner wakes up in a hospital with a surgeon and a cop next to his bed. The surgeon wants to tell him about the brain tumor they just removed. The cop wants to tell him that Drew just murdered his ex-fiance.The tumor is definite enough. He takes it home from the hospital in a jar. And his fiancee is definitely dead. But Drew can't remember anything about that night and has no idea if he killed her or not. But he's arrested, sent for trial, convicted, and then acquitted on grounds of temporary insanity. That tumor in a jar came in handy at the trial.So now what? Drew wants to know what happened that night. He needs to figure out if he's really a killer, and if not, then who is? And who is stalking his home, setting him up?Fortunately, Drew is a crime writer, so he's got contacts. His agent, the actor who starred in his movie, his crime scene specialist, the consultant cop. But someone is following him, and then a second murder follows soon after Drew comes home from jail.This wasn't a perfect book. Drew was a little too reckless and dumb in some ways. But I liked the setting and I was wrapped up in the story. I'm giving it 3.5 stars. Great opening, BTW.
    • 4/5
      A very solid thriller. I liked getting into the mind of Drew Danner, the Crime Writer of the title. The fact that his mind was damaged (physically, due to the removal of a tumor) made it all the more interesting, since even he didn't know if he committed the crime he was accused of.

      Like with most of my books these days, I "read" it via audiobook during my long commutes between home and grad school. Scott Brick is my favorite narrator, so when I'm unsure of what to read next, I do a keyword search using him.That is how I stumbled across The Crime Writer. I don't know if it's Scott Brick's delivery--for I've never heard him narrate a bad book--but this book really caught my attention from the beginning and held it to the end. The characters felt real, the protagonist was sympathetic, and while I thought I knew where the book was going, I was wrong.A great story and an amazing audiobook narrator made for an enjoyable commute this week. Thank you, Mr. Hurwitz and Mr. Brick :)

      A crime writer awakes to find he has be accused of a crime, murdering his ex-girl friend, he is almost sure he did not commit. He deals with this by writing, by distancing himself from some of the situation. I found this somewhat uncomfortable, unpleasant and unenjoyable, that being said some of the characters are interesting and the plot through me for a bit of a loop.
    • 5/5
      GH reads a lot like Peter Abrahams to me...maybe a younger, hipper, version.This was just an all-around terrific thriller with a powerful and fresh voice, a handful of striking characters (perhaps relying a little bit on type, but so entertaining that was easy to forgive), gentle humor in a measure that did not become annoying, and a zesty plot which some might find a bit too far-fetched (in a Greg Iles sort of way) but which I enjoyed thoroughly.My only significant complaint was the author-editor relationship as written is unlike anything I'm aware of in the real world of publishing. Hmmm.Oh, also the fact that, at least going by GH's photo which makes him look about 17, I'm extremely envious of the maturity of the writing in such a young author.

      Crime writer wakes from brain surgery to learn he is accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend. After being exonorated from the charges, he starts his own investigation to find out if he really DID kill her. Then another woman is killed, and the writer is accused of the crime as his blood is at the scene...but he really did not do it...did he? And if not him, then who is trying to frame him, and why?Fast, fun read with an original story line and good, well-developed characters. I was able to figure out who-done-it about 2/3 through the book - but not why!
