Moonflower Murders is the sequel to Anthony Horowitz’s clever mystery-within-a-mystery Magpie Murders. Like its predecessor, it is really two books in one. The first is set in the present day and features book editor Susan Ryeland. The second is a classic mystery in the style of Agatha Christie, set in the 1950s and featuring detective Atticus Pünd, the creation of the fictional, deceased author Alan Conway, whose murder Susan solved in Magpie Murders. As with the previous book, the fictional mystery set in the past provides clues to the “real” mystery set in the present.
