Orion Susan Ryeland Series 2 Books Collection Set By Anthony Horowitz

This two-book collection brings together two mysteries from Anthony Horowitz’s Susan Ryeland series: Magpie Murders and Moonflower Murders. The stories follow Susan Ryeland, first introduced as an editor who has spent years working with bestselling crime writer Alan Conway, whose detective Atticus Pünd is known for solving crimes in sleepy English villages of the 1950s.

In Magpie Murders, Conway’s latest manuscript, centred on a murder at Pye Hall, contains more than its surface story of dead bodies and suspects, with another narrative hidden within the pages. In Moonflower Murders, Susan is now a retired publisher running a small hotel on a Greek island with her long-term boyfriend, while finding herself drawn into an English couple’s account of a murder connected to a hotel wedding.

Synopses

Magpie Murders

Editor Susan Ryeland has worked for years with bestselling crime writer Alan Conway, creator of detective Atticus Pünd. Conway’s latest story, set around a murder at Pye Hall, appears to offer dead bodies and a range of suspects, but the manuscript is not what it seems. Hidden within its pages is another tale, written between the words, involving jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition and murder.

Moonflower Murders

Retired publisher Susan Ryeland is running a small hotel on a Greek island with her long-term boyfriend. Struggling with the demands of island life, she begins to miss her former literary world in London, despite a past publishing career that drew her into a lethal literary murder plot. When an English couple arrive with a story about a murder that took place in a hotel on the day their daughter Cecily was married there, Susan finds herself intrigued.
