Praise For This Book


"Each of the narratives in Magpie Murders is engaging and fluid, each with its own charm, though Horowitz's joyful act of Christie ventriloquism is, in particular, spectacularly impressive." - Washington Post

"Anthony Horowitz's Magpie Murders is catnip for classic mystery lovers... With its elegant yet playful plotting, Magpie Murders is the thinking mystery fan's ideal summer thriller." - Time Magazine

"An ingenious funhouse mirror of a novel sets a vintage 'cozy' mystery inside a modern frame." - Wall Street Journal

"Brilliant. Really, really brilliant. I loved it." - Sophie Hannah, author of The Monogram Murders

"An extravagant circus of a novel, part high-wire act, part funhouse mirror. Intricate, bold, stone-cold clever- both comfortably old-fashioned and thrillingly new." - A.J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window

"Doubly Devilish." - People

"Horowitz..has devised an ingenious whodunit within a whodunit, a metamystery with Agatha Christie roots." - O, the Oprah Magazine

"A treat for fans of golden age mysteries.... [A] tour de force .... Horowitz throws in several wicked twists... Highly satisfying." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Magpie Murders is an ingenious, twisting tribute to the sleepy English countryside murder and will thoroughly entertain readers of old fashioned detective thrillers." - New York Journal of Books

"Fans who still mourn the passing of Agatha Christ...will welcome this wildly inventive homag...as the most fiendishly clever puzzle-make that two puzzles-of the year." - Kirkus Reviews (starred)

"A perfect summer read from the author of Moriarty." - AARP Magazine
