I loved the way this was written, a book within a book, two mysteries, and two clever solutions. Always happy to read a murder mystery.

Excellent whodunnit and I also liked the surroundimg Story of Susan Rusland.
I would have given a little bit more intro in the beginning, but overall, it was quite a pleasant read.
The fictional interview of Anthony Horowitz with Alan Conway was a real treat.
