Moonflower Murders

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 * Hello! Magazine *
