3.0

 I had a lot of fun with Magpie Murders and this book was the same. I love what Horowitz does in creating a book within a book. The connections between the books are so clever and well thought-out. The mystery in this one was solid and kept me guessing, although I'm still not sure I get the side plot with Andreas - it just seemed irrelevant. Unfortunately, the book loses a couple of stars for the uncomfortable homophobia. The tying of morality to sexuality was bad enough throughout, but the long rant at the end really just did me in and did not add anything to the book.
