About this listen

FROM BEST SELLING AUTHOR ANTHONY HOROWITZ.

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.

Lesley Manville reads this latest book excellently as you’d expect. I find these hard to follow in audiobook or paper format - too many characters. But looking forward to seeing the tv adaptation when it arrives

Another decent instalment in the series

Totally absorbing and a wonderful third murder mystery for Susan Ryland and Atticus Pund. Can’t wait for the TV adaptation.

Superb

The intrigue

I came late to reading Anthony Horowitz myself, having bought Alex Rider for my son and Groosham Grange for my daughters. However I heard about him on All about Agatha podcast and decided to give him a go. I think I was at first annoyed by mugs and teabags from a vicar’s wife in the 50s, before discovering that these were part of carefully placed anachronisms 😁
Since then I have avidly followed both the Atticus Pundt and the Hawthorne series with great pleasure, spotting the anachronisms like little friendly signs.
I won’t enumerate them all here, suffice it to say yoghurt for breakfast in France in 1955! And a Citroën traction in any other colour than black! Well Anthony 👋😃
They are engaging storylines with plenty of different levels and while you may guess some outcomes I would be surprised if you guessed them all.

A fine mix of storyline, characters, emotions, and even a few red herrings.

But for me the most enjoyable were the two great narrators.

If heading into these characters I would really recommend starting with the first in the Trilogy, Magpie Murders

An Excellent Trilogy Conclusion

I adore Atticus and Susan but I must say this book is just magnificent, probably the best of the 3. Highly recommended. And the reading? impeccable.

masterpiece

The characters are believable, the story intriguing and the narration excellent. Works best if you’ve read/listened to the other stories in the series but not essential.

Just great

Really great book and brilliantly performef. I hope it isn't the last. Lesley might just change her mind

The best of the three

Fantastic listen - best out of three. Would highly recommend it if you’d enjoy a modern whodunit set in London.

Excellent - best out of three

Of course it is… it’s Horowitz… he’s a master storyteller. Now just sad that I have to wait months for his next release!

Brilliant… naturally
