entertaining. A masterpiece.' Lucy Foley, author of The Hunting
Party Retired publisher Susan Ryeland is running a small hotel on a
Greek island with her long-term boyfriend. But life isn't as
idyllic as it should be: exhausted by the responsibility of making
everything work on an island where nothing ever does, Susan is
beginning to miss her literary life in London - even though her
publishing career once entangled her in a lethal literary murder
plot. So when an English couple come to visit with tales of a
murder that took place in a hotel the same day their daughter
Cecily was married there, Susan can't help but find herself
fascinated. And when they tell her that Cecily has gone missing a
few short hours after reading Atticus Pund Takes The Case, a crime
novel Susan edited some years previously, Susan knows she must
return to London to find out what has happened. The clues to the
murder and to Cecily's disappearance must lie within the pages of
this novel. But to save Cecily, Susan must place her own life in
mortal danger... ______________ Want to read more Atticus Pund and

'Absolutely loved it. So clever, just masterful stuff.' Richard
Osman, author of The Thursday Murder Club 'We all want to go away
on foreign holidays - but I was reading Anthony Horowitz's new book
based in Greece and oh my God I could taste the wine, I could see
the sea, I could smell that lovely dusky air! ... It's so much fun,
I'm absolutely loving it' Ryan Tubridy, RTE Radio One 'Showcases
Horowitz's full battalion of strengths: the whiplash plotting, the
leather-smooth prose, the bold energy and, above all, the bright
spark of joy that ignites the best fiction. Sophisticated, literate
novels aren't supposed to be so much fun.' AJ Finn, author of The
Woman in the Window 'A mind-bending mystery to tie readers in
knots' BBC 'There is no mystery writer whose puzzles make me think,
'Ooh, I can't wait!' more than Anthony Horowitz. He is a master of
the cunning plot device, and brings zest and originality to the
traditional murder mystery novel.' Sophie Hannah 'It is always a
pleasure to read a new Anthony Horowitz mystery ... a wonderfully
enjoyable read' Ragnar Jonasson 'Funny, profound and at times
frightening, this is Horowitz at his very best. And the perfect
jumping-on point for newcomers.' The Sun 'It's a complex plot, a
novel within a novel, where the reader gets to grapple with the
whodunnit both in the main narrative and through an entirely
separate detective story[...] They are both gripping reads' Irish
Times 'So clever, a story within a story within a story. A
triumph.' Kate Mosse 'A masterpiece by an author at the top of his
genre.' Adam Hamdy
