Magpie Murders: The book of the major hit BBC series Magpie Murders from the Sunday Times bestselling author

Autor Anthony Horowitz
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 noi 2017

Ce te faci când un manuscris de ficțiune ascunde indicii despre o crimă reală? Susan Ryeland, editoare de cursă lungă, primește ultimul volum al autorului Alan Conway. Pare un roman polițist clasic, plasat într-un sat englezesc liniștit. Dar, pe măsură ce Susan parcurge ancheta detectivului Atticus Pünd la Pye Hall, descoperă ceva alarmant. Dincolo de pagini se ascunde o poveste despre lăcomie, ambiție și ură care transcende ficțiunea. Descoperim aici un mecanism narativ ingenios: o carte în interiorul altei cărți. Tensiunea crește cu fiecare capitol citit de Susan. Ritmul este alert. Suspansul devine personal. În tradiția lui Agatha Christie, acest roman reimaginează structura clasică „whodunit” prin prisma meta-ficțiunii moderne. Anthony Horowitz demonstrează o stăpânire absolută a genului, rafinată prin lucrări anterioare precum Moriarty sau Trigger Mortis. Dacă în The House of Silk autorul explora rigoarea canonului sherlockian, aici își permite să deconstruiască regulile genului polițist sub ochii noștri. Suntem de părere că această lucrare este o demonstrație de virtuozitate tehnică. Cititorul nu este doar un observator, ci devine detectivul care trebuie să separe realitatea de manuscris. Comparația cu Murder of Magpies de Judith Flanders este inevitabilă prin prisma mediului editorial descris, însă Horowitz plasează miza într-o zonă mult mai întunecată și mai cerebrală.

Descriere

The first Atticus Pund and Susan Ryeland mystery from bestselling author Anthony Horowitz, and inspiration for the major hit BBC series MAGPIE MURDERS.

Editor Susan Ryland has worked with bestselling crime writer Alan Conway for years. Readers love his detective, Atticus Pünd, a celebrated solver of crimes in the sleepy English villages of the 1950s.

But Conway's latest tale of murder at Pye Hall is not quite what it seems. Yes, there are dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects, but hidden in the pages of the manuscript lies another story: a tale written between the very words on the page, telling of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition and murder.

From the creator of Midsomer Murders comes a fiendish mystery perfect for fans of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot.

Now available to preorder: MARBLE HALL MURDERS, the fiendishly brilliant follow-up to Magpie Murders and Moonflower Murders

Praise for Magpie Murders - the gripping Sunday Times bestselling crime thriller:

'Ingenious' Sunday Times
'Thrilling and compelling with a stunning twist' Daily Mail
'A stylish thriller' Sunday Mirror

Recenzii

Want to read a great whodunnit? Anthony Horowitz has one for you: MAGPIE MURDERS. It's as good as an Agatha Christie. Better, in some ways. Cleverer.
An ingenious novel-within-a-novel whodunit about the death of a crime writer . . . Part crime novel, part pastiche, this magnificent piece of crime fiction plays with the genre while also taking it seriously
A cunning re-invention of the thriller formula
Superbly written, with great suspects, a perfect period feel and a cracking reveal at the end
A stylish, multi-layered thriller - playful, ingenious and wonderfully entertaining
Brilliant. Really, really brilliant. I loved it.
Putting two books in one with their plots running side by side makes Magpie Murders difficult to put down and Horowitz fans will thoroughly enjoy a cracking good read
Although at first glance Horowitz's latest offering appears to be a classic whodunit novel, it will almost certainly prove to be unlike anything you've ever read before, and will have you mulling over its various intrigues in between sittings.
Anthony Horowitz's new novel is at once a brilliant pastiche of the English village mystery and a hugely enjoyable tale of avarice and skulduggery in the world of publishing . . . a compendium of dark delights
We loved this Agatha Christie-esque crime novel. A fiendish mystery within a mystery that will have you hooked from page one
A highly enjoyable twist on the classic whodunnit
Horowitz is a superb pasticheur.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

From the author of Moriarty and Trigger Mortis, this fiendishly brilliant, riveting thriller interweaves a classic whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie with an equally ingenious modern-day mystery that transforms the reader into the detective.
Alan Conway is a bestselling crime writer. His editor, Susan Ryeland, has worked with him for years, and she’s intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus Pünd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. Alan’s traditional formula pays homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers. It’s proved hugely successful. So successful that Susan must continue to put up with his troubling behavior if she wants to keep her job.
When Susan receives Alan’s latest manuscript, in which Atticus Pünd investigates a murder at Pye Hall, an English manor house, she has no reason to think it will be any different from the others. There will be dead bodies, a cast of intriguing suspects, and plenty of red herrings and clues. But the more Susan
reads, the more she realizes that there’s another story hidden in the pages of the manuscript—one of ambition, jealousy, and greed—and that soon it will lead to murder.
Masterful, clever, and ruthlessly suspenseful, Magpie Murders is a deviously dark take on vintage crime fiction.
