Magpie Murders

'Want to read a great whodunnit? Anthony Horowitz has one for you: MAGPIE MURDERS. It's as good as an Agatha Christie.

Better, in some ways. Cleverer.' Stephen King n n 'The finest crime novel of the year' Daily Mail n n ***** n n n n Seven for a mystery that needs to be solved . .

. n Editor Susan Ryland has worked with bestselling crime writer Alan Conway for years. Readers love his detective, Atticus Pund, a celebrated solver of crimes in the sleepy English villages of the 1950s.

n But Conway's latest tale of murder at Pye Hall is not quite what it seems. Yes, there are dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects, but hidden in the pages of the manuscript lies another story: a tale written between the very words on the page, telling of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition and murder. n From the creator of Midsomer Murders comes a fiendish mystery perfect for fans of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot.***** n n Praise for Magpie Murders - the gripping Sunday Times bestselling crime thriller: n 'Ingenious' Sunday Times n n 'Thrilling and compelling with a stunning twist' Daily Mail n n 'A stylish thriller' Sunday Mirror n n 'A cunning reinvention of the thriller' Mail on Sunday n
