Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz
3.0

A murder mystery nested in a murder mystery. "Magpie Murders" is the title of a mystery novel that the editor gets at the beginning of the book. So like the first half of the book is the nested murder mystery. Then it zooms back out and goes back to the editor's perspective. Then the author gets murdered, and the editor has to figure out how and why and how it relates to the book he wrote. The nested structure was kind of cool, but (both) mysteries were pretty generic. SPOILER: her rescue from the fire by her greek boyfriend at just the right time --> major eyeroll
