A bestselling crime novel. A labyrinth of clues. A killer with a
lot to hide.
Featuring his famous literary detective
Atticus Pund and Susan Ryeland, hero of the worldwide bestseller
Magpie Murders, a brilliantly complex and original literary
thriller
Bestselling author Anthony Horowitz has written two highly
acclaimed Sherlock Holmes novels, The House of Silk and Moriarty;
two James Bond novels, Trigger Mortis and Forever and a Day; three
Detective Hawthorne novels, The Word is Murder, The Sentence is
Death and A Line To Kill, and the acclaimed bestselling mystery
novels Magpie Murders and Moonflower Murders.
He is also the author of the teen spy Alex Rider series, and
responsible for creating and writing some of the UK's most loved
and successful TV series, including Midsomer Murders and Foyle's
War. In January 2022 he was awarded a CBE for his services to
literature.
I absolutely love this series of fiendishly clever literary
mysteries[...] and I wolfed this new one down
*Good Housekeeping*
MOONFLOWER MURDERS showcases Horowitz's full battalion of
strengths: the whiplash plotting, the leather-smooth prose, the
bold energy and, above all, the bright spark of joy that ignites
the best fiction. Sophisticated, literate novels aren't supposed to
be so much fun
*A. J. Finn*
It is amongst the most ambitious formats I've ever read, as,
essentially, Horowitz writes not one but two fully-fledged,
distinct stories. There is the 300-plus page present-day Susan
Ryeland story mystery, and the 200-plus page Golden Age style Alan
Conway murder mystery, and both of them are brilliantly executed as
exemplars in their respective genres and fields
*NB Magazine*
Funny, profound and at times frightening, this is Horowitz at his
very best. And the perfect jumping-on point for newcomers.
*The Sun*
A clever, engaging book that keeps you hooked until the end
