` The finest crime novel of the year` Daily Mail***** Seven for a mystery that needs to be solved... Editor Susan Ryland has worked with bestselling crime writer Alan Conway for years. Readers love his detective, Atticus Pund, a celebrated solver of crimes in the sleepy English villages of the 1950s. But Conway`s latest tale of murder at Pye Hall is not quite what it seems. Yes, there are dead bodies & a host of intriguing suspects, but hidden in the pages of the manuscript lies another story: a tale written between the very words on the page, telling of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition & murder. From the creator of Midsomer Murders comes a fiendish mystery perfect for fans of Agatha Christie`s Miss Marple & Hercule Poirot.***** Praise for Magpie Murders
