Magpie Murders |
by Anthony Horowitz |
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 |
