From theĂ New York TimesĂ bestselling author ofĂ MoriartyĂ andĂ Trigger Mortis, this fiendishly brilliant, riveting thriller weaves a classic whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie into a chilling, ingeniously original modern-day mystery.
When editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan ConwayââŹâ˘s latest novel, she has no reason to think it will be much different from any of his others. After working with the bestselling crime writer for years, sheââŹâ˘s intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus PĂÂźnd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, AlanââŹâ˘s traditional formula has proved hugely successful. So successful that Susan must continue to put up with his troubling behavior if she wants to keep her job.
ConwayââŹâ˘s latest tale has Atticus PĂÂźnd investigating a murder at Pye Hall, a local manor house. Yes, there are dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects, but the more Susan reads, the more sheââŹâ˘s convinced that there is another story hidden in the pages of the manuscript: one of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition, and murder.
Masterful, clever, and relentlessly suspenseful,Ă Magpie MurdersĂ is a deviously dark take on vintage English crime fiction in which the reader becomes the detective.
