About this listen
The first Atticus Pund and Susan Ryeland mystery from bestselling author Anthony Horowitz, and inspiration for the major hit BBC series MAGPIE MURDERS.
Editor Susan Ryland has worked with bestselling crime writer Alan Conway for years. Readers love his detective, Atticus Pünd, 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 and 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 and murder.
From the creator of Midsomer Murders comes a fiendish mystery perfect for fans of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot.

A Whodunnit Within A Whodunnit!
I really had to concentrate on this one - it was different, but which it. The narrator was excellent and easy to follow.

Utter Genius
One murder mystery, a delightful homage to Agatha Christie, acts as a cosy comfort blanket surrounding another murder mystery, which is clever and wonderfully self-aware. The combination is an absolute delight.

OK but not exceptional
this was OK but not great. the male reader was very good but mixed up his accents a few times and there were a couple of inconsistencies in the narrative.

A really good read!
I really enjoyed this book. It is a story within a story and both kept me throughly entertained. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes “who dunnits” and especially those who are Agatha Christie fans. It borrows a huge amount from Christie but there is a very valid reason for this which becomes evident. A great read!

A mystery within a mystery
Loved this story. Anthony Horowitz comes up with incredibly original stories and I love his work. The narration is extremely good by the two narrators and it kept me intrigued until the end.
Highly recommend for those who love a great detective story.
