Moonflower Murders
1st February 2025
Former editor turned hotelier Susan is back, as she’s dragged into a new investigation tied to a book she previously edited.
It’s a fun adventure for the most part - and Horowitz makes really good use again of the book-within-a-book format (this time without needing to use a hard-to-read typeface too).
I love that he can write one story with two styles, with such close relationships between the stories, and yet it takes right up until the end to actually see if all and how clever it is.
My only issue was with quite the swerve in tone near the end - it’s warned about, but even then felt like a bit of a let down that it had to be that way.
I enjoyed it though, and am looking forward to a third adventure.
