Magpie Murders
by Anthony Horowitz
Structured as a book within a book, this literary masterpiece is a tale of intertwining stories, multi-dimensional compelling characters as a magnifique homage to the crime writers of the golden age : Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers.
Alan Conway is a bestselling crime writer of Cloverleaf Books and his creation Atticus Pond, is known to be a com-patriot of the mighty Hercule Poirot. When his new manuscript of Atticus Pond's next, "The Magpie Murders" reaches his editor Susan Ryeland, she immediately dives into it and is pulled into the story. The story like his previous works of the author is set on disturbing sleepy English village Saxby, Avon where he stumbles upon multiple deaths and generation old secrets.
Nevertheless, as narratives unfold, the manuscript culminates in a cliffhanger, wherein Susan discovers the absence of the final few pages that divulge the identity of the perpetrator. Compounding this impediment, a catastrophic event transpires, compelling the editor of Cloverleaf Books to rely on her acumen and resourcefulness in order to give the book its ending.
This was a thoroughly engaging literary work, replete with hidden references and clues, leaving me eagerly anticipating the next installment in the Susan Ryeland Series. For those with a penchant for captivating mysteries, this book may be a compelling choice, provided the length does not prove daunting.
