Magpie Murders reminded me that I genuinely love murder mysteries when done well. 
It evoked that charm of reading Agatha Christie for the first time with a nice twist throughout. Generally I don't like story-within-a-story type books. I feel like they tend to yank you out of the book but Horowitz did a fantastic job. 
I am genuinely looking forward to reading the follow up. 
One of my new recommendations going forward.
