About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin
Now a major BBC series starring Lesley Manville
Featuring his famous literary Detective Atticus Pund and Susan Ryeland, hero of the worldwide best seller Magpie Murders, a brilliantly brain-teasing literary thriller by Anthony Horowitz. The follow-up to Magpie Murders.
Retired publisher Susan Ryeland is living the good life. She is running a small hotel on a Greek island with her long-term boyfriend, Andreas. It should be everything she's always wanted - but is it? She's exhausted with the responsibilities of making everything work on an island where nothing ever does, and truth be told she's beginning to miss her old life in London.
And then a couple - the Trehearnes - come to stay, and the story they tell about an unfortunate murder that took place on the same day and in the same hotel in which their daughter was married is such a strange and mysterious one that Susan finds herself increasingly fascinated by it. And when the Trehearnes tell her that their daughter is now missing, Susan knows that she must return to London and find out what really happened....

Fabulous, but listen to Magpie Murders first
I love the way Horowitz does a book in a book. This time, with Moonflower Murders, I did get quite lost when the story returned to the main book, but I enjoyed everything else so much it didn't matter. I listened to Manville (the female narrator) on speed 1.15 to give it a bit more kick, but put it back to 1.00 for Corduner. I love the Greek/German private investigator and just want more and more and more!

Both Narrators are exceptional. The story is solid
Lesley and Allan are superb narrators... bringing life and distinction to the characters. Always a wonderful experience to be led by masterful performers of the written text.
I listened to both books in the Magpie Murders series back to back. Moonflower has the usual Horowitz dexterity, however, it was a tad indulgent at the end. Anthony Horowitz wanted to show us his workings, to demonstrate his smarts, however, it became a tad obvious. I picked the guilty parties early on so the final denouement was not a surprise.
It was a major time commitment, so was not fully sated at the end.

Enjoyable romp.
An enjoyable tale with an especially strong finish. A story ( stories!) to get lost in.

Narration
Another terrific novel by Anthony Horowitz. Beautifully narrated by Manville - the best in my opinion. Don’t be turned off by the ‘book in a book’ idea!

Better than I could have inagined, Just Brilliant
This book hooked me right from the start, I loved every bit of ut. very clever Author. This book is much better than Book 1 which was a very slow starter but eventually wound up and then got me interested in the plot. I highly recommend this book.

Great follow up to Magpie Murders
Pretty solid story and loved the book within a book concept. Missed Samantha Bond who narrated the first book. This narrator was good but there were a few times where her voice wasn't different enough for the husband and wife. This could be read without reading Magpie murders but I would recommend you did.

Story Within a Story
I loved this book! The way the author links the story, and the story within the story, is brilliant! As a whodunnit, it is also excellent - I certainly hadn't worked it out! Highly recommended.

Story in a story
A very clever book. A story in a story - 2 for 1 deal. You get your moneys worth.
I really enjoyed this book, had it all characters you liked ones you hated - you go through a range of emotions

Great sequel
Does not disappoint! Twisty and complex. I like the book within a book construct too.

lots of twists and turns that the author acknowledges but continues to use. ambivalent
