My review:?????

Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz is the second in the Susan Ryeland series, the first of which is Magpie Murders.

Susan is a former editor, and now joint hotel owner in Crete, and she’s feeling fed up with life.  She’s offered £10,000 to look into a murder and disappearance which are linked to a book that she edited, and so she’s off to the UK!

I know of Anthony Horowitz from things like Foyle’s War, and heard that he had written a couple of James Bond books, and a couple of books with Sherlock Holmes as the lead, but I didn’t know what to expect.

I really enjoyed this book!  The characters were enjoyable, and you can see where they are in the book that Susan edited.  There are twists and turns that I didn’t see coming at all.

I would describe this as a crime book, with sections of cosy crime.  You’ll understand more when you read it.  I don’t know if there’s a similar section in the first book in the series!  That’s as spoilery as I’ll get!

Moonflower Murders was published on 20th August 2020, and is available to buy on Amazon, Waterstones (signed editions!) and from your local independent bookshop.

You can follow Anthony Horowitz on his website, Twitter or Facebook.

I was given this book in return for an unbiased review, so my thanks to Random House UK Cornerstone.
