Featuring his famous literary detective Atticus Pund and Susan Ryeland, hero of the worldwide bestseller Magpie Murders, a brilliantly complex literary thriller with echoes of Agatha Christie from bestselling author Anthony Horowitz. Retired publisher Susan Ryeland is living the good life. She is running a small hotel on a Greek island with her long-term boyfriend Andreas. It should be everything she's always wanted. But is it? She's exhausted with the responsibilities of making everything work on an island where nothing ever does, and truth be told she's beginning to miss London. And then the Trehearnes come to stay. The strange and mysterious story they tell, about an unfortunate murder that took place on the same day and in the same hotel in which their daughter was married-a picturesque inn on the Suffolk coast named Farlingaye Halle-fascinates Susan and piques her editor's instincts. One of her former writers, the late Alan Conway, author of the fictional Magpie Murders, knew the murder victim-an advertising executive named Frank Parris-and once visited Farlingaye Hall. Conway based the third book in his detective series, Atticus Pund Takes the Cake, on that very crime. The Trehearne's, daughter, Cecily, read Conway's mystery and believed the book proves that the man convicted of Parris's murder-a Romanian immigrant who was the hotel's handyman-is innocent. When the Trehearnes reveal that Cecily is now missing, Susan knows that she must return to England and find out what really happened. Brilliantly clever, relentlessly suspenseful, full of twists that will keep readers guessing with each revelation and clue, Moonflower Murders is a deviously dark take on vintage English crime fiction from one of its greatest masterminds, Anthony Horowitz.… (meer)

Another decent installment in this series - a little silly in parts, but overall, quite good, and I liked the book-within-a-book element. ( )

I enjoyed this even though I’m not generally a fan of the genre and I did not read the first book in the series.

I was looking for something light and distracting to read and somehow this came to my attention. The story was fun and kept me turning the pages to find out ‘who dunnit’. Pretty much all the characters had reason to be suspect which kept it interesting. (though it was a bit on the long side for a mystery (the book within the book)).

Managing a small hotel on a Greek island, retired publisher Susan Ryeland is ready to help her new guests when they announce that their daughter Cecily was married in a Suffolk coast hotel where a notorious murder took place--on the same day as the wedding. Susan's late author Alan Conway based a mystery on the murder, and Cecily, who read the book and is convinced that the wrong person was convicted of the real-life crime, is now missing.

I like Horowitz’s writing style and previous books I’ve read. He creates good characters with a lot of variety. But in this story within a story, it went on much too long and at times repetitive. Between both stories, there were too many characters to keep track of. I would’ve enjoyed this more if it had been about half the size. ( )

Literary fiction, these days, seems to require a "meta" level and here, Susan Ryeland, as usual, seems like a secondary character to the author she edited, Atticus Pünd. One of his novels, rumored to be based on a murder at a hotel, prompts the parents of a missing woman to draw Susan from her new life on the isle of Crete (hectic, not idyllic) back to Britain to investigate her disappearance. The pages keep you turning them as you follow Susan's interviews with the prime suspects, her conflicted feelings for her Greek lover, and as you read the Atticus Pünd novel over her shoulder in search of current day clues. It's not necessary to read the first Susan Ryeland, novel: The Magpie Murders, before this one. ( )

This was an engrossing and clever mystery within a mystery and novel within a novel. Favorite character and amateur detective from Horowitz’s Magpie Murders Susan Ryeland, returns to solve another mystery involving her now-deceased author client Alan Conway. In the middle of this new mystery, where Susan is asked to solve the disappearance of Cecily, the daughter of Branlow Hall’s owner, she rereads Alan’s fictional novel Atticus Pund Takes the Case because Cecily claims it proves who the real murderer is.

While the plot description sounds confusing, it’s actually coherent when you’re reading it. The story itself is full of twists, clues, and suspects galore, and I couldn’t put the book down. I appreciated how it all comes together for a brilliant homage to vintage English crime fiction à la Agatha Christie.

You don’t have to read Magpie Murders before reading this one, but I recommend you do. And you’ll certainly want to do so afterwards.

As Susan says while reading the fictional Atticus Pund novel, “There’s something satisfying about a complicated whodunnit that actually makes sense.” Yes! This is definitely an enjoyable, complicated whodunit I highly recommend. ( )
