jonallanson 's review for:

Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz

4.0

---

I really enjoyed this one. Having recently watched Knives Out for the fifth or sixth time, I was certainly in the mood for a whodunnit. And, as the author wrote episodes or entire series of my favorite British murder mystery shows, this seemed like a good choice. I really enjoyed the book-within-a-book setup, which I felt took it well past a pastiche into its own thing. Well-written and kept me guessing, in both parts of the book, so I'd certainly call it successful. Recommended.
