**NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES STARRING LESLEY MANVILLE**

Susan Ryeland has had enough of murder.

She’s edited two novels about the famous detective, Atticus Pünd, and both times she’s come close to being killed. Now she’s back in England and she’s been persuaded to work on a third.

The new ‘continuation’ novel is by Eliot Crace, grandson of Miriam Crace who was the biggest selling children’s author in the world until her death exactly twenty years ago.

Eliot believes that Miriam was deliberately poisoned. And when he tells Susan that he has hidden the identity of Miriam’s killer inside his book, Susan knows she’s in trouble once again.

As Susan works on Pünd’s Last Case, a story set in an exotic villa in the South of France, she uncovers more and more parallels between the past and the present, the fictional and the real world – until suddenly she finds that she has become a target herself.

It seems that someone in Eliot’s family doesn’t want the book to be written. And they will do anything to prevent it.

Critic reviews

An absolutely wonderful writer

A masterclass in mystery writing.

Horowitz pushes back the boundaries of ‘plot structure’ – he creates a book within a book where the narrative and the characters of each one are cleverly mirrored. He’s a genius

Anthony Horowitz is one of my all-time favourite authors. Marble Hall Murders is a beautiful read and we are all in for a real treat

Diabolically clever . . . . Horowitz’s multilevel romp . . . serves up an elegant plot while lampooning writers, publishers, murderers, rich people and golden-age mystery stories. It’s a cliché to describe prolific authors as being at the top of their game (and often seems to suggest the opposite), but it’s true here. Marble Hall Murders is as cunning a mystery as you’ll read all year.

Anthony Horowitz is one of the great masters of the contemporary page turner

Glorious fun

Plenty of puzzles, red herrings and juicy murders

Horowitz offers readers another page-turner of a puzzle, once again cleverly told as a story within a story

The dividing lines between reality and fiction (a Horowitz trademark) are deliciously intertwined.

possibly the best of the series. Leslie Manvil is superb, thoroughly addictive. I look forward to the tv version
