Imagine settling into your favorite reading chair, ready to lose yourself in a classic whodunit. But what if the mystery you're reading contains clues to a real-world murder? This is the ingenious premise of "Magpie Murders" - a literary puzzle box that operates on two distinct levels. We follow Susan Ryeland, a London editor reviewing the latest manuscript from her bestselling but difficult author, Alan Conway. His ninth Atticus Pund detective novel initially presents as a classic 1950s mystery set in the quintessential English village of Saxby-on-Avon, where housekeeper Mary Blakiston is found dead at the bottom of the stairs, followed by the brutal decapitation of her employer, Sir Magnus Pye. Just as Susan reaches what should be the story's conclusion, she discovers the final chapters are missing - and learns that Conway himself has died, apparently by suicide. As Susan investigates Conway's death, she realizes the fictional murders and the author's demise share disturbing parallels, with vital clues embedded in the unfinished manuscript.
