Susan takes it home to read it over the weekend – only she is frustrated to discover that the last chapter is missing from the manuscript. It is the ninth novel in his best-selling Atticus Pünd series of historical mysteries. They have just received the latest novel from their most popular author, Alan Conway.

Anthony Horowitz delivers just such a book in “ Magpie Murders” which is an homage to the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie.
