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.

Crocodile on the Sandbank is one of my favorite mystery novels of all time. It's the first in a series about Amelia Peabody, an unconventional Englishwoman in late 19th century Egypt. She and her traveling companion, Evelyn, meet the two Emerson brothers at an archaeological site, and sparks fly between Amelia and the older brother, Radcliffe Emerson. A walking mummy haunts the camp at night, and various accidents happen. Will Amelia figure out what's going on?
