It’s such noir writing, reminds you of Agatha Christie with the sleuthing.Īfter a tragedy (spoiler so I can’t say here) we are back to Susan’s world in modern times visiting London and the rural English countryside. You are immediately immersed into the ninth Atticus Pund book which is set in rural England, the time period is the 1950’s. This will change Susan’s life and not for the better I can tell you. She is given the last manuscript from Conway but the last few chapters are missing. The book opens in present time with Susan Ryeland, editor for Conway’s books, telling the story. This murder mystery featuring fictional detective Atticus Pund was appealing on it’s own but wait……there is another story line and mystery about the publishing company for Alan Conway, author of the Atticus Pund books. How did I miss this guy when he has written so many successful English series such as Foyle’s War? I can say that I will be seeking out more of his work and hope it’s as engaging as this book. This is my first acquaintance with author Anthony Horowitz.
