Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz

3.0

---

*3.5 stars*

I have a similar problem with this book and with the first book in the series, I think the device that Horowitz uses of a book within a book doesn't work for me. In this book, I had a hard time getting into the story, and then when I'm finally enjoying it, it switches to the book within a book, and I felt that change so strongly and I struggled to get into that story as well. Nonetheless, I think Horowitz writes good mysteries, his writing is great, and by the end, I really enjoyed both the real-life mystery and the book within a book, even if I suspected the answer to the real-life mystery and I was right.
