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!

Finally I can click the "I'm Finished" botton. It took me month to finish this book.
No it wasn't so bad, but it was too long, with too many people and too little excitement. Yes the ending was good, surprising and all but at that point I was already dreading to pick up the book and there is no coming back from with.
But I plan to give Horowitz another chance, I still have good feeling about his writing style. I just don't ever want to meet Susan again.

Not as enjoyable as the first in the series, but just good enough that I'd read another, if there is one. The gimmick is still impressive--no other author I can think of writes two murder mysteries at once, but it was less clever the second time around.

A little overlong and at times I was bored. The book within a book didn’t work as well for me in this one as the previous one. The mystery itself felt like something i had already read before being retold.
Clever but there were too many characters and too much exposition
