A review by mi_bookshelf
Magpie by Elizabeth Day

dark mysterious medium-paced

2.75

This was not what I was expecting. 
This felt like 2 books. The first half was a thriller and then it switched to motherhood manifesto? And then Marisa's Schizophrenia never made another appearance - it felt like a plot device which felt wrong, making these people out to be violent would-be murderers if not on their meds. And after she attacks and ties up Kate, Kate just, doesn't react??
Overall, I felt like this book was trying to do too much in one book, to the point that none of the concepts felt like they were executed well.
