Moonflower Murders
by Anthony Horowitz
Two murder mysteries for the price of one. With a total of four victims and three guilty parties - just to add a little more maths. I find these books so reminiscent of Christie, brimming with predicable, unpredictably that I consume them at a leisurely pace. In both cases I was surprised by the solution and gratified to see all the clues laid out in plain sight. There is no rushing it through the pages, worrying about the safety of the characters. Just a steady unfolding of the facts until it is ready for the reveal.
I keep wondering which detective came first. Did Horowitz plan to do a golden-age series, with Atticus Pund but find it too prosaic and add on Susan Ryeland? Or was it the other way about? Susan is not always the most engaging character, but I do like her complications. Atticus and Andreas are both to be adored. I kind of hope there will be a book for each of Alan Cumming’s novels.
