Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz

Anthony Horowitz has produced a mystery so delicious, devious and twisty that Agatha Christie herself would have stayed up all night to read it. Susan has spent the better part of her life and career as editor to a difficult author who happens to write some bestselling mysteries that have kept the publishing house afloat. This latest manuscript pulls Susan in but soon she is wondering if there is more to the story than meets the eye. Just when she thinks all will be revealed she finds the last pages missing and something happens to the author. The classic mystery that Susan (and us along with her) reads is chock-full of wonderful classic Christie and Sherlock clues and settings. As we try to help Atticus Pund solve the mystery in this sleepy English village we are also solving the mystery of its author. Who wanted the author dead? Sometimes it takes a good editor.
