A masterclass in mystery writing.
Ragnar Jonasson
The dividing lines between reality and fiction (a Horowitz trademark) are deliciously intertwined.

Glorious fun

Ryan Tubridy

His most satisfying yet’
Air Mail
Dazzling . . . Readers looking for a cozy that gives them something to really chew on will enjoy this lengthy mystery, and fans of Susan Ryeland will find this a satisfying installment in the series
BookPage, Starred Review
Novels within novels are an Anthony Horowitz trademark . . . a gifted mimic, [Horowitz] switches effortlessly between Susan's cynical voice and a convincing Agatha Christie-style pastiche
The Times
If you've read Horowitz's Magpie Murders and Moonflower Murders - the basis for the PBS mystery series - you know how wonderful he is at creating fun, twisty mysteries with layered plots: books within books.
AARP
A smooth, rich mystery that will entertain on every one of its 580 pages. Settle in for a cleverly constructed plot.
NY Journal of Books
Diabolically clever . . . . Horowitz’s multilevel romp . . . serves up an elegant plot while lampooning writers, publishers, murderers, rich people and golden-age mystery stories. It’s a cliché to describe prolific authors as being at the top of their game (and often seems to suggest the opposite), but it’s true here. Marble Hall Murders is as cunning a mystery as you’ll read all year.
New York Times
The prolific and multi-talented Anthony Horowitz is back with a very readable third novel featuring the full-time professional editor and part-time amateur sleuth Susan Ryeland and the legendary fictional detective Atticus Pünd . . . A talented fellow, our Anthony Horowitz. A name for fans of intelligent mystery fiction on page or screen to be on the lookout for. His work doesn’t disappoint’
American Spectator
If traditional golden age style mystery is your jam, these books are absolute perfection . . . with this strong installment, Horowitz proves once again that these smart, gorgeously written and compelling books remain some of the very best crime novels being written
Deadly Pleasures Magazine
Marble Hall Murders is metafiction with a vengeance. It is a contemporary murder mystery in the style of the best of Agatha Christie. In the hands of a writer with the sly genius of Anthony Horowitz — who is capable of winking at us even as he scares us mightily — Marble Hall Murders is, quite simply, as good as it gets
Anniston Star
Marble Hall Murders is a masterpiece and more than a worthy successor to the prior installments of the series. The complex construction of Horowitz’s mysteries is so brilliant that it feels like he is channeling Agatha Christie herself, and this latest entry is a perfect example of this. This mystery within a mystery is like a fictional Russian doll that will keep readers engaged and guessing on multiple levels from start to finish
