Mr. Horowitz, once again, proves he's a master of the modern mystery. Cleverly plotted, beautifully written, it’s a true page-turner full of wit and intrigue. The story within a story is brilliantly done, keeping you guessing until the very end. 

I loved the main character, all her name-dropping of famous writers.

An absolute treat for fans of classic whodunnits.

Audio. A bit repetitive.

Great novel. The book within a book creates layers and can be a bit confusing. I found myself having to go back and reread chapters and remembering characters names and where they fit into the story. This was a good follow on book to Magpie Murders. I recommend both books.

A much better way to insert the story within a story part than the first one. Had me engaged from the very beginning!
