I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the first one (Really? Andreas shows up to save her life again?) but it was still engaging and well plotted. I wondered how Horowitz was going to contrive a plot to have another Atticus Pund novel embedded in this one, but it made sense the way he did it. I think another one in this format would stretch credulity, but I'd probably read it anyway!

This book took me a long time to get into. I could never get past the first 50 pages. Once I was able to get over that hump, I was pretty into the story. I would say the book within the book was the more interesting mystery. By the time I finished that part of the story, I had forgotten a lot of the main characters. It's entertaining and cozy though.

I really enjoyed this one. I think Anthony Horowitz is a genius. There are multiple reasons:
1. The murder story within a murder story concept is brilliant. Or worked well in "Magpie murders" and it works even better here
2. Drawing a connection between the two stories was a super idea and it was executed perfectly.
3. He makes you feel smart. It's a honest puzzle. He puts all the clues in front of you and if you follow along well, you will be able to deduce the solutions. I think it's sheer brilliance.
I thoroughly enjoyed this and can't wait for the next installment in the series.
Oh . And I forgot. Mr Horowitz also slipped in a short story within the murder mystery that is within this murder mystery

This is such a great series. I love the story within a story concept, and I appreciate the great detail that Horowitz puts into his writing. I am looking forward to another should he write it. Recommend for anyone who likes a classic whodunit.
