From the author of Moriarty and Trigger Mortis, this fiendishly brilliant, riveting thriller interweaves a classic whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie with an equally ingenious modern-day mystery that transforms the reader into the detective.
Alan Conway is a bestselling crime writer. His editor, Susan Ryeland, has worked with him for years, and she’s intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus Pünd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. Alan’s traditional formula pays homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. It has proved hugely successful. So successful that Susan must continue to put up with his troubling behaviour if she wants to keep her job.
When Susan receives Alan’s latest manuscript, in which Atticus Pünd investigates a murder at Pye Hall, an English manor house, she has no reason to think it will be any different from the others. There will be dead bodies, a cast of intriguing suspects and plenty of red herrings and clues. But the more Susan reads, the more she realises that there’s another story hidden in the pages of the manuscript—one of ambition, jealousy and greed—and that soon it will lead to murder.
Deviously dark, clever and ruthlessly suspenseful, Magpie Murders is a masterful dark take on vintage crime fiction.
