Un asesinato brillante. Tan buena como una novela de Agatha Christie. Quizá incluso mejor, más inteligente.
 
Susan Ryeland ha sido durante años la editora del excéntrico escritor superventas Alan Conway. Los lectores adoran al protagonista de su serie más famosa, el detective Atticus Pünd, que se dedica a resolver crímenes en la década de los cincuenta por pueblecitos ingleses aparentemente tranquilos.
 
Sin embargo, la última novela que ha entregado Conway, y a la que le faltan los últimos capítulos, no es como las demás y está a punto de cambiar la vida de Susan. Aunque en la narración hay cadáveres y una interesante lista de sospechosos, entre las páginas del manuscrito se esconde otra historia: una trama que se entrelaza con la vida real en la que los celos, las envidias, las ambiciones despiadadas y los asesinatos superan con creces a la ficción. Anthony Horowitz, autor superventas del New York Times, nos transporta a un laberíntico misterio que encierra otro misterio de la mano de personajes dignos de los mejores clásicos en un escenario contemporáneo impecable y plagado de suspense.
 
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NOW A PBS SERIES

From the New York Times bestselling author of Moriarty and Trigger Mortis, this fiendishly brilliant, riveting thriller weaves a classic whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie into a chilling, ingeniously original modern-day mystery.
 
When editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway’s latest novel, she has no reason to think it will be much different from any of his others. After working with the bestselling crime writer for years, she’s intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus Pünd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Alan’s traditional formula has proved hugely successful. So successful that Susan must continue to put up with his troubling behavior if she wants to keep her job.
 
Conway’s latest tale has Atticus Pünd investigating a murder at Pye Hall, a local manor house. Yes, there are dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects, but the more Susan reads, the more she’s convinced that there is another story hidden in the pages of the manuscript: one of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition, and murder.
 
Masterful, clever, and relentlessly suspenseful, Magpie Murders is a deviously dark take on vintage English crime fiction in which the reader becomes the detective.
