In 'Moonflower Murders', Anthony Horowitz continues the Susan Ryeland series with a complex and intricate mystery. The story revolves around Susan Ryeland, who is approached by Lawrence and Pauline Treherne, owners of Branlow Hall in Suffolk, to find their missing daughter Cecily. Eight years earlier, a murder occurred at their hotel on the day of Cecily’s wedding, and the convicted killer, Stefan Codrescu, is in prison. However, Cecily discovers that Alan Conway’s novel, 'Atticus Pünd Takes the Case', contains clues suggesting the real killer is still at large. Susan must analyze the novel to uncover the truth behind both the past murder and Cecily’s disappearance. The book includes the complete text of 'Atticus Pünd Takes the Case', a classic mystery set in the 1950s, which parallels the present-day investigation[1][3][5].
Magpie Murders
Anthony Horowitz
Magpie Murders is a 2016 mystery novel by Anthony Horowitz. The story is presented as a book within a book, where Susan Ryeland, an editor at Cloverleaf Books, reads the latest manuscript of Alan Conway's Atticus Pünd series. The manuscript, 'Magpie Murders', is set in 1955 in the village of Saxby-on-Avon and follows the investigation of two murders by detective Atticus Pünd. However, the manuscript ends abruptly, and Susan discovers that Alan Conway is dead, with his death initially believed to be a suicide. As Susan searches for the missing chapters, she uncovers a real-life mystery involving jealousy, greed, and murder, leading her to investigate Conway's death. The novel pays homage to the Golden Age of detective fiction, particularly Agatha Christie, with numerous literary references and clever plot twists[2][4][5].

In 'Bad Monkey,' Carl Hiaasen tells the story of Andrew Yancy, a former detective from the Miami Police and Monroe County Sheriff’s Department, who is now working as a health inspector. Yancy's life takes a dramatic turn when he discovers a human arm in his freezer, which he believes may be evidence of a murder. As he delves deeper into the mystery, he encounters a variety of colorful and unpredictable characters, including a voodoo witch, real estate speculators, and a mischievous monkey named Driggs. The novel is a blend of dark comedy, satire, and crime fiction, critiquing the greed, corruption, and environmental degradation in Florida and the Bahamas.
