Magpie Murders

A novel by: Anthony Horowitz

Published: 2018

Genre: Crime Fiction / Mystery

If you love mysteries, murders and whodunits, you’ll love this book. I don’t usually read mysteries but I loved playing detective with this one. I was determined to identify the killer, even went back to reread and highlight clues but, with lots of twists and turns this book kept me guessing.
