When publisher Susan Ryeland receives the manuscript for Alan Conway’s latest novel, she has no reason to believe it will be much different from the rest. Having worked for years with the best-selling crime author, she is intimately acquainted with her detective Atticus Pünd, who solves the mysteries that trouble quiet English towns.

Paying homage to classic British crime queens like Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Alan’s traditional formula has proven to be a huge hit. So successful that Susan must continue to put up with her problematic behavior if she wants to keep her job.

In Conway’s latest story, Atticus Pünd investigates a murder at Pye Hall, a local mansion. Yes, there are dead bodies and plenty of intriguing suspects, but the more Susan reads, the more she becomes convinced that there is another story lurking between the pages of the manuscript: one of jealousy, greed, reckless ambition, and real-life murder.

Masterful, cunning and relentlessly suspenseful, Magpie Murders is a deviously dark take on the classic English whodunit, in which the reader becomes a detective.

This is a well-written novel that is exciting in many ways, but also strange. Horowitz plays with convention in a way that is sometimes clever, sometimes artificial. However, it is unfair to generalize about the book as a whole, as they are two different, very different novels, packed into a single book the size of a building.

Novel One is a more or less traditional British police thriller, well executed with wonderful details and interesting characters, rumored to be from a writer named Alan Conway. It will be read in handwritten form by an anonymous person. On its own and with an ending, it would make a charming novel in the Sherlock Holmes tradition… even with the pleasant but shy, Watson-like character of James.

Atticus Pünd is a valuable protagonist, a perfect analog of Holmes, the deductive reasoning turns but is never exposed. However, the story is told by an omniscient narrator (who is not fully omniscient, as he is not aware of Pünd’s deductive logic). Most of the time this isn’t a problem, but it is jarring when the narrator gets into a character’s head right after she refuses to get into Pünd’s mind. The story continues, the omniscient narrator gives it a 19th century feel.

But wait, let’s just say, Conan Doyle was one of the first notable authors to use the deleted third person so he could let Watson tell the story without having to figure out Holmes’ plot until the end. An omniscient narrator would know Pünd’s thought, so choosing this form seems like a trick. The biggest problem is that there are so many named characters from the small town of Saxby-on-Avon. We love them all and Horowitz is at his best when describing them. Most of them are potential suspects at the end of the 90% of Novel One we have before a break…

…to Roman Two, which begins by trying to solve the problem of too many characters to remember in Roman One. The solution is for the anonymous editor, whom we may remember from chapter one, to summarize many of the characters in novel one and remind the relieved reader who all these people are. But the summary is presented as artificiality.

After the synopsis, the publisher finally lets us know that she is Susan Ryeland, and Book Two goes into the races… well, that Trabs… and Ryeland tells the second story in the first person. The transition from the omniscient narrator to the first person helps make a clear departure from Novel One, but Ryeland is a less interesting narrator than Conway’s omniscient narrator, and the first person limits his ability to provide the reader with rich descriptions, which I find difficult. did change. the pages of novel one.

It turns out that there are many parallels between the author Conway and his protagonist Atticus Pünd. It’s well-handled and interesting, but Ryeland’s search for missing material turns up red herrings upon red herrings. Faced with many characters and many clues, I began to ramble. However, the book is well written. For readers looking for complex plots and good writing, this book will satisfy.
