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*
A clever, engaging book that keeps you hooked until the end
*Socialist Worker*
A devilishly clever, multi-layered total joy of a novel
*Miranda Dickenson*
The prolific novelist's latest work is a mind-bending murder
mystery to tie readers in knots
*BBC News Online*
Magnificent
*Bestsellers Podcast*
It's a complex plot, a novel within a novel, where the reader gets
to grapple with the whodunnit both in the main narrative and
through an entirely separate detective story [...] They are both
gripping reads, a clever conceit by Horowitz, who pulls off the
tricky structure beautifully.
*Irish Times*
Moonflower Murders, is a superbly intricate608-page murder mystery
[...] An intellectual challenge with a smile attached ispretty much
the Horowitz oeuvre in a nutshell. The gleeful boy seems to shine
through even the darkest tale
*Sunday Times Ireland*
A genius mystery within a mystery which is perfect for any book
lovers and murder mystery fans
