Midsomer Murders She Wrote

Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz

March 13, 2022 by dsbs42 Leave a Comment

I feel like I should get credit for reading two books here, as once again, one entire novel is sandwiched around another in Anthony Horowitz’s second Susan Ryeland/Atticus Pünd murder(s) mystery. And this time it’s murder squared. In Moonflower Murders, Susan Ryeland (our heroine from Magpie Murders, which I thoroughly enjoyed) is running a hotel on Crete with her boyfriend Andreas, but instead of enjoying paradise, she feels miserable. The hotel’s got money problems, she’s working 24/7, and her relationship with Andreas is souring. When […]

Enjoyable read, in spite of being the weakest in the series

A Line to Kill by Anthony Horowitz

January 22, 2022 by KimMiE" 1 Comment

Ever since I discovered Anthony Horowitz in 2019, I’ve been catching up on his previously released novels and eagerly awaiting new ones. I was, therefore, delighted to see A Line to Kill, book #3 in Horowitz’s Hawthorne series, gracing bookstore shelves while I was out Christmas shopping last month. I marched up to my husband and announced, “I’m buying this for my dad, but I would also like to add it to my Christmas list.” Because I have a husband who picks up on these types […]

“It felt strange. I was about to read one murder mystery while sitting inside another.”

Moonflower Murders (Susan Ryeland, #2) by Anthony Horowitz

September 29, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

What a fun, twisty (not so) little whodunnit. I was skeptical about this one, because it seemed on the surface like it would just be the same thing all over again, when the resolution of the first book would seem to make that impossible. But he made it work! I should have trusted. This is a 600-ish page book that I read feverishly in about two days one weekend in July. Some spoilers for book one below; you have been warned. We return to former […]

This book is like a golden poppy growing from the manure of the last 12 months. Its existence makes me smile.

Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz

February 28, 2021 by KimMiE" 3 Comments

I was surprised when I heard that Anthony Horowitz was releasing a sequel to Magpie Murders, one of the most delightful books I read in 2019. That mystery-within-a-mystery was clever, well-constructed, and utterly entertaining, but how could Horowitz plausibly make that format work again using the same characters? To my tremendous joy, Horowitz has constructed an equally triumphant (maybe even better?) sequel. At the start of Moonflower Murders, former publisher Susan Ryeland is living in Crete, trying to succeed in the boutique hotel business along […]

Hooray for the Book Exchange, and hooray for narfna!

Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz

January 26, 2021 by Bothari43 3 Comments

This was a lovely treat from narfna, courtesy of the 2020 Book Exchange. I loved the clever telling of the story-within-a-story, and I almost wanted to know the end of the ‘fictional’ story more than I did the ‘real’ one. Susan Ryeland is an editor. Her company publishes the Atticus Pund series, wildly successful detective books with a Poirot/Gamache-style main character. She introduces herself at the beginning, saying the ninth book in the series would change her life. Then you get to read the manuscript […]

Murder, They Wrote (And Directed)

Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz

Made Men: The Story of Goodfellas by Glenn Kenny

The Big Fix by Roger L. Simon

The Damsel by Richard Stark

November 19, 2020 by Jake Leave a Comment

I went on a bit of an unexpected reading tear these last few days, which is good because I need to clear some space off the TBR pile in advance of reading Barack Obama’s new book.   Moonflower Murders 4 Stars ::Trigger Warning:: Tragic homosexual plot And how sad it is because the book didn’t need it. I was curious as to how Anthony Horowitz was going to follow up with his superb Magpie Murders series. He does so by giving us most of an Atticus Pünd novel, […]
