Magpie Murders

By Anthony Horowitz

Magpie Murders is a book within a book, a cleverly crafted, brilliantly plotted, classic whodunnit with an ingenious twist in the tale … when editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway’s latest book, she has no reason to think it will be much different to any of his others … but how wrong she is!

When editor Susan Ryeland receives the latest manuscript from Alan Conway, the celebrated author of mystery novels centred on the detective Atticus Pund, she does not realise that between the lines is hidden another story, one of greed, jealousy, ruthless ambition, and murder. The first novel in the Susan Ryeland series, Magpie Murders is a story within a story, a crafted twist on a crime novel.
