Don’t miss Magpie Murders on PBS's MASTERPIECE Mystery!
""A double puzzle for puzzle fans, who don’t often get the classicism they want from contemporary thrillers."" —Janet Maslin, New York Times
New York Times Bestseller | Winner of the Macavity Award for Best Novel | NPR Best Book of the Year | Washington Post Best Book of the Year | Esquire Best Book of the Year
From the New York Times bestselling author of Moriarty and 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 Conway’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, she’s intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus Pünd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Alan’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.
Conway’s latest tale has Atticus Pünd 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 she’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, Magpie Murders is a deviously dark take on vintage English crime fiction in which the reader becomes the detective.

For en genial bok! En roman i en roman, og gåter, anagrammer og ordleker, gjør denne boka så original. Og så er den veldig spennende og godt skrevet.

Spennende "twist" av en detektiv roman.

Føles lang, med mange like scener. Det var flere ganger jeg lurte på om lydboka hadde hoppa tilbake, for det opplevdes som akkurat det samme en gang til. Det føltes ut som flere steder ville vært en logisk slutt, og likevel fortsetter den, igjen og igjen.Men. Jeg hørte den ferdig likevel. 😅

Ironically enough this book could have been tightened up by an editor. The Pünd novel went on for too long and wanking off the mystery writing talents of Conway comes off as arrogant since Horowitz himself wrote Conways book. Susan’s parts are what saves the novel. She is a delightful narrator. Too bad be have to slog through Pünd to read her boys. Watch the TV series instead. While not perfect it doesn’t suffer the same mistakes.

Kriminalroman bygget som en Matryoshka-dukke! Godt gjort å flette så mange mistenkte inn i veven. Hadde ikke tapt på litt tettere "klipp".

Mystery inside a mystery 👍🏼

Likte denne godt, det var en moderne vri på Poirot og «lukkede rom mysterier» sjangeren. Gøy med en bok inni boken. Syns den kvinnelige innleseren hadde en hang til overacting, men ikke så mye at det ødela for lytteropplevelsen. Anbefales!
