A solid 4 for me. A good who dun it within another who dun it. The reveal at the end pointed the way all along. Excited to see how PBS portrays this. I would love for author to write more Atticus Pund mystery novels.
My favorite quote pg259 - everything in life has a pattern and a coincidence is simply the moment when that pattern becomes briefly visible. This quote is everything.

3.5 stars rounded up.
After having loved Magpie Murders, I was anxious to read the follow up novel featuring the editor-turned-detective Susan Ryeland. Sadly this one didn’t have the same natural flow and cohesive story-within-a-story concept. However, both mysteries the reader gets in the book are quality whodunnits fit for any Agatha Christie or Midsomer Murders fan with plenty of red herrings and motives.

Solidly 3.5 stars. I love the format of this and Magpie Murders -- two books for the price of one!
