MAGPIE MURDERS.
Edition: First US printing.
New York: Harper Collins, (2017) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - A "thriller which interweaves a classic whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie with an equally ingenious modern-day mystery that transforms the reader into the detective." One of the most effective and enjoyable novel within a novel books which I have read. Introduces editor Susan Ryeland who turns detective when a manuscript is missing the final chapters and its author has apparently committed suicide. Horowitz, a screenwriter for the television series Midsommer Murders, freely name drops. This novel was itself the basis for an innovative and excellent television series. A 'specially bound copy' SIGNED by the author on a preliminary page. Recommended. 236 pp. ISBN: 978-0062645227.
Condition: Near fine in near fine dust jacket.
