The Magpie Murders

Magpie Murders is a 2016 mystery novel by British author Anthony Horowitz. Please do not google this book. Do not look up reviews. Just go in blind.

Be warned, IMO it started out a bit slow or possibly so classic, that I wasn’t sure why it had been recommended as a top mystery book of the last 10 years. It seemed to be a very standard representation of a modern Christie mystery.

I found the prologue to be intriguing, the beginning of the novel suitably cozy to keep going, but it was the midpoint hooked me good.

Highly recommend.
