![]() ![]() ![]() So how can such a story radically change your life, to the extent in Ryeland’s case that she changes jobs and loses a number of friends? This is a question which is only answered in the final third of the novel, but first we have Conway’s Magpie Murders.Ĭonway’s novel which has all the usual opening pages of a novel, including critical reviews purporting to be from Ian Rankin and Robert Harris, is set in 1955 and most of the action takes place in a village named Saxby-on-Avon. The book in question is the Magpie Murders, the 9 th book in the Atticus Pünd series written by Alan Conway, a mystery series which is decidedly a part of the golden age genre. The story begins with Susan Ryeland, an editor for Clover Books, who warns us about the book we are about to read, a book she has also read, which she says changed her life forever. Magpie Murders (2016) is a challenging book to summarise due to its text within a text nature, but I’ll give it my best shot. Before reading this book I hadn’t read anything by Anthony Horowitz, so I was unsure what to expect, though I was aware he had written some continuation novels involving Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty. ![]()
