DESCRIPTION:
Clever, Delicious, and Not To Be Missed This ‘big concept’ novel is the latest from Anthony Horowitz, the creator of MIDSOMER MURDERS, FOYLE’S WAR, et al. AH is also the author of a beloved set of children’s books, a James Bond novel and a Sherlock Holmes novel. He is, quite simply, a national treasure.MAGPIE MURDERS is a very interesting twist on the traditional English detective/mystery story in the Agatha. but couldn't put it down after a while---very fun and Susan White what a mind bender----this is a book within a book within another book----very intertwined characters, some real people and some characters within the books---it lagged a bit a times, too much information, but couldn't put it down after a while---very fun and challenging. Evelyn Bethel said A Winner!!!. Magpie Murders was terrific- what an original approach to a murder mystery - a mystery within a mystery. I am not surprised that it was a page turner. Anthony Horowitz has written some top drawer murder mysteries for television i.e. Foyle's War and a few Midsomer Murders. I recommend it highly.
So successful that Susan must continue to put up with his troubling behavior if she wants to keep her job. Yes, there are dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects, but the more Susan reads, the more she's convinced that there is another story hidden in the manuscript: one of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition, and murder. When editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, she has no reason to think it will be much different from any of his others. An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Alan's traditional formula has proved hugely successful. From the New York Times best-selling author of Moriarty and Trigger Mortis, this fiendishly brilliant, riveting thriller weaves a classic whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie into a chilling, ingeniously original modern-day mystery. Masterful, clever, and relentlessly suspenseful, <
