Magpie Murders

Magpie Murders / Anthony Horowitz, read by Samantha Bond and Allan Corduner, 236 pages

Two books in one, this story tells of the frustration of editor Susan Ryeland who's latest submission is missing the last chapters.  She wants to edit and publish the ninth detective story featuring Atticus Pund but the rich and famous author, Alan Conway has just killed himself.  Turns out Alan was sick and going to die soon anyway and seemingly decided to take the easy way out.  But just as the mystery in Conway's book remains to be solved, Susan begins to believe that this cut and dried suicide is actually murder.  Readers get to enjoy the Conway novel within this story and so get two mysteries for the price of one.  The audio book is well done by two narrators, one for each of the stories.
