Magpie Murders
ISBN: 9781409158387
Description
Editor Susan Ryland has worked with bestselling crime writer Alan Conway for years. Readers love his detective, Atticus Pünd, a celebrated solver of crimes in the sleepy English villages of the 1950s. But Conway's latest tale of murder at Pye Hall is not quite what it seems. Yes, there are dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects, but hidden in the pages of the manuscript lies another story: a tale written between the very words on the page, telling of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition and murder.

In this brilliant murder mystery inside a murder mystery, Horowitz has put together two incredibly complex plots that tie together beautifully into one story.
I found it took me only a few moments to get into the swing of the font change that sets aside the story from the one within it, and then found myself absolutely gripped. For an author to b able to construct something so compelling as this is amazing.
I’ve read quite a few of Horowitz’s novels before, but that’s has properly inspired me to keep a look out for more of his crime series.
