I absolutely love this series of fiendishly clever literary mysteries[...] and I wolfed this new one down
Good Housekeeping
MOONFLOWER MURDERS showcases Horowitz's full battalion of strengths: the whiplash plotting, the leather-smooth prose, the bold energy and, above all, the bright spark of joy that ignites the best fiction. Sophisticated, literate novels aren't supposed to be so much fun
A. J. Finn
It is amongst the most ambitious formats I've ever read, as, essentially, Horowitz writes not one but two fully-fledged, distinct stories. There is the 300-plus page present-day Susan Ryeland story mystery, and the 200-plus page Golden Age style Alan Conway murder mystery, and both of them are brilliantly executed as exemplars in their respective genres and fields
NB Magazine
Funny, profound and at times frightening, this is Horowitz at his very best. And the perfect jumping-on point for newcomers.
The Sun
A clever, engaging book that keeps you hooked until the end
Socialist Worker
A devilishly clever, multi-layered total joy of a novel
Miranda Dickenson
The prolific novelist's latest work is a mind-bending murder mystery to tie readers in knots
