Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz
4.0
That was the trouble. In his experience, people were never interested in the abstract theory of detective work - which was the subject of his still unfinished book, The Landscape of Criminal Investigation. They wanted the sensational details: the bloody fingerprint, the smoking gun, the killer going about his work. Pünd had never seen murder as a game, not even as a puzzle to be solved. His work was an examination of humanity at its darkest and most desperate. You could not solve crime unless you understood its genesis.
Having read [b:Magpie Murders|31063914|Magpie Murders (Susan Ryeland, #1)|Anthony Horowitz|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1468342048l/31063914._SY75_.jpg|3829748] and then enjoyed the BBC adaptation, I couldn't resist diving straight into the sequel.
Like its predecessor, this is effectively two dective novels in one, and the story takes place a couple of years after the first book.
Susan Ryeland is now living in Greece and running a struggling hotel. When she is approached by the parents of a missing person, she soon finds that the disappearance is linked to a murder at the distraught family's hotel. A murder which appears to have inspired the events in one of the Atticus Pünd mysteries.
Agreeing to help the family, Susan finds herself back in England and revisiting the series of books that almost led to her untimely demise.
I really liked how [a:Anthony Horowitz|32590|Anthony Horowitz|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1301176549p2/32590.jpg] gives you the full story Atticus Pünd story, which contains all the clues needed to work out what happened all those years ago and what may have led to the disappearance.
Very cleaver. 4 1/2 stars.
