Magpie Murders

Horowitz is a superb pasticheur. * Guardian * A highly enjoyable twist on the classic whodunnit * Metro * We loved this Agatha Christie-esque crime novel. A fiendish mystery within a mystery that will have you hooked from page one * Good Housekeeping * Anthony Horowitz's new novel is at once a brilliant pastiche of the English village mystery and a hugely enjoyable tale of avarice and skulduggery in the world of publishing . . . a compendium of dark delights * Irish Times * Although at first glance Horowitz's latest offering appears to be a classic whodunit novel, it will almost certainly prove to be unlike anything you've ever read before, and will have you mulling over its various intrigues in between sittings. * Scotsman * Putting two books in one with their plots running side by side makes Magpie Murders difficult to put down and Horowitz fans will thoroughly enjoy a cracking good read * Daily Express * Brilliant. Really, really brilliant. I loved it. * Sophie Hannah, author of The Monogram Murders * A stylish, multi-layered thriller - playful, ingenious and wonderfully entertaining * Sunday Mirror * Superbly written, with great suspects, a perfect period feel and a cracking reveal at the end * Spectator * A cunning re-invention of the thriller formula -- Thriller of the Week * Mail on Sunday * An ingenious novel-within-a-novel whodunit about the death of a crime writer . . . Part crime novel, part pastiche, this magnificent piece of crime fiction plays with the genre while also taking it seriously * Sunday Times *
