Adaptations of Susan Ryeland Series of novels by Anthony Horowitz
A beguiling murder mystery with a solution that will both astonish and shock viewers, the plot of Magpie Murders revolves around the character Susan Ryeland, an editor who is given an unfinished manuscript of author Alan Conway’s latest novel, but has little idea it will change her life.
Susan Ryeland’s life is upended when a mystery lands on her doorstep in Crete. A woman’s disappearance is linked to a novel by her old opponent, Alan Conway. In the glamorous world of Atticus Pund, will she solve the puzzle in time?
The story picks up with Susan returning to England where she is drawn into a new Atticus Pünd mystery — this time written by a new, young writer. “Pünd’s Last Case” is a story set in 1955 in a villa in Corfu – but the identity of a real killer is hidden in the book.
