Marble Hall Murders

An absolutely wonderful writer * Richard Osman *A masterclass in mystery writing. * Ragnar Jonasson *Horowitz pushes back the boundaries of ‘plot structure’ – he creates a book within a book where the narrative and the characters of each one are cleverly mirrored. He’s a genius * Terry Deary *Anthony Horowitz is one of my all-time favourite authors. Marble Hall Murders is a beautiful read and we are all in for a real treat * Ryan Tubridy *Diabolically clever … . Horowitz’s multilevel romp … serves up an elegant plot while lampooning writers, publishers, murderers, rich people and golden-age mystery stories. It’s a cliché to describe prolific authors as being at the top of their game (and often seems to suggest the opposite), but it’s true here. Marble Hall Murders is as cunning a mystery as you’ll read all year. * New York Times *Anthony Horowitz is one of the great masters of the contemporary page turner * Andrew Marr *Glorious fun * The Daily Telegraph *Plenty of puzzles, red herrings and juicy murders * Daily Express *Horowitz offers readers another page-turner of a puzzle, once again cleverly told as a story within a story * Washington Post *The dividing lines between reality and fiction (a Horowitz trademark) are deliciously intertwined. * Financial Times *
