ReviewsMoonflower Murders showcases Horowitz's full battalion of strengths: the whiplash plotting, the leather-smooth prose, the bold energy... and above all, the bright spark of joy that ignites the best fiction--the joy of a storyteller finding brave new ways to dazzle his audience. Sophisticated, literate novels aren't supposed to be so much fun., "Moonflower Murders showcases Horowitz's full battalion of strengths: the whiplash plotting, the leather-smooth prose, the bold energy... and above all, the bright spark of joy that ignites the best fiction--the joy of a storyteller finding brave new ways to dazzle his audience. Sophisticated, literate novels aren't supposed to be so much fun." - A. J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window "Horowitz...has devised an ingenious whodunit within a whodunit, a metamystery with Agatha Christie roots." - O, the Oprah Magazine "Each of the narratives in Magpie Murders is engaging and fluid, each with its own charm, though Horowitz's joyful act of Christie ventriloquism is, in particular, spectacularly impressive." - Washington Post "Anthony Horowitz's Magpie Murders is catnip for classic mystery lovers.... With its elegant yet playful plotting, Magpie Murders is the thinking mystery fan's ideal summer thriller." - Time magazine "Magpie Murders is an ingenious, twisting tribute to the sleepy English countryside murder and will thoroughly entertain readers of old fashioned detective thrillers." - New York Journal of Books, "Moonflower Murders showcases Horowitz's full battalion of strengths: the whiplash plotting, the leather-smooth prose, the bold energy... and above all, the bright spark of joy that ignites the best fiction--the joy of a storyteller finding brave new ways to dazzle his audience.

SynopsisNew York Times Bestseller * Now a MASTERPIECE mystery series on PBS! Bestselling author Anthony Horowitz brings back his famous literary detective Atticus Pund and Susan Ryeland, hero of Magpie Murders, in an inventive, labyrinthine story that is "catnip for classic mystery lovers" (Time magazine). Retired publisher Susan Ryeland is living the good life. She is running a small hotel on a Greek island with her long-term boyfriend Andreas. It should be everything she's always wanted. But is it? She's exhausted with the responsibilities of making everything work on an island where nothing ever does, and truth be told she's beginning to miss London. And then the Trehearnes come to stay. The strange and mysterious story they tell, about an unfortunate murder that took place on the same day and in the same hotel in which their daughter was married--a picturesque inn on the Suffolk coast named Farlingaye Hall--fascinates Susan and piques her editor's instincts. One of her former writers, the late Alan Conway, author of the fictional Magpie Murders, knew the murder victim--an advertising executive named Frank Parris--and once visited Farlingaye Hall. Conway based the third book in his detective series, Atticus Pund Takes the Cake, on that very crime. The Trehearne's, daughter, Cecily, read Conway's mystery and believed the book proves that the man convicted of Parris's murder--a Romanian immigrant who was the hotel's handyman--is innocent. When the Trehearnes reveal that Cecily is now missing, Susan knows that she must return to England and find out what really happened. Brilliantly clever, relentlessly suspenseful, full of twists that will keep readers guessing with each revelation and clue, Moonflower Murders is a deviously dark take on vintage English crime fiction from one of its greatest masterminds., New York Times Bestseller - Now a MASTERPIECE mystery series on PBS!

  • Get the book & enjoy new TV release of its episodic twists & turns!

    Newly released as a TV series is so compelling, that I purchased the book rather than suffer the weekly cliffhanger of each episode’s closing scene. Get the book and enjoy watching its episodic twists & turns!
