Tento brilantní, strhující thriller od autora románů Moriarty, Dům hedvábí a bondovek Modrý diamant, Navždy a den propojuje klasickou detektivku hodnou Agathy Christie se stejně geniální moderní zápletkou, díky níž se čtenář stává detektivem. Alan Conway je úspěšný autor detektivních románů. Jeho redaktorka Susan Ryelandová s ním pracuje už řadu let a důvěrně zná jeho detektiva Atticuse Pünda, který řeší případy narušující život v ospalých anglických vesničkách. Alanovo tradiční vyprávění je poctou královnám klasické britské detektivky, jako jsou Agatha Christie a Dorothy L. Sayersová a je nesmírně úspěšné. Tak úspěšné, že Susan musí dál snášet jeho problematické chování, pokud si chce svou práci udržet. Když Susan dostane nejnovější Alanův rukopis, ve kterém Atticus Pünd vyšetřuje vraždu v anglickém panském domě Pye Hall, není důvod si myslet, že by se měl nějak lišit od ostatních. Jsou zde mrtvá těla, řada neobvyklých podezřelých a také množství falešných stop a vodítek. Ale čím víc Susan z románu přečte, tím víc si uvědomuje, že mezi řádky rukopisu je ukryt ještě další příběh plný žárlivosti, chamtivosti a bezohledných ambicí, který brzy povede k vraždě. Rafinovaně temný, inteligentní a nemilosrdně napínavý román Magpie Murders je mistrovským pojednáním detektivky ze starých dob. "Skutečně brilantní. Moc se mi ta kniha líbila." Sophie Hannahová, autorka detektivního románu Vraždy s monogramem "Zlatý věk detektivek se v Magpie Murders prolíná se současnou záhadnou vraždou vylíčenou obratným vypravěčem Anthonym Horowitzem, Jen mistr žánru dokáže vytvořit takovou důmyslnou napodobeninu. Agatha Christie by byla nadšena (ačkoli by jí mohl běhat mráz po zádech nejen z obyčejné závisti)!" Jacqueline Winspearová, New York Times, autorka populární série o Maisie Dobbsové "Autor bestsellerů Horowitz přichází s příjemným překvapením pro fanoušky detektivek zlaté éry, s husarským kouskem, který vzdává hold tomuto žánru a zároveň si z něj tropí vtipy." Publishers Weekly "Fanoušci Agathy Christie, kteří stále ještě truchlí nad její smrtí… přivítají tuto velmi nápaditou poctu autorce… a nejdůmyslnější hádanku - vlastně dvě hádanky - roku." Kirkus Reviews "Geniální román v románu… Tento skvělý příběh, který je částečně detektivkou, částečně pastišem, si pohrává s detektivním žánrem, ale současně ho bere vážně." The Sunday Times

Flora dies on All Souls'' Day, but she simply won''t leave the store.
