Un Asesinato Brillante / Magpie Murders

SI ENTRAS EN ESTE ROMPECABEZAS LITERARIO, NO PODR糜 SALIR HASTA LA 湥TIMA P礁INA

Un asesinato brillante. Tan buena como una novela de Agatha Christie. Quiz?incluso mejor, m嫳 inteligente.

Susan Ryeland ha sido durante a隳s la editora del exc幯trico escritor superventas Alan Conway. Los lectores adoran al protagonista de su serie m嫳 famosa, el detective Atticus Pd, que se dedica a resolver cr璥enes en la d嶰ada de los cincuenta por pueblecitos ingleses aparentemente tranquilos.

Sin embargo, la tima novela que ha entregado Conway, y a la que le faltan los timos cap癃ulos, no es como las dem嫳 y est?a punto de cambiar la vida de Susan. Aunque en la narraci鏮 hay cad嫛eres y una interesante lista de sospechosos, entre las p墔inas del manuscrito se esconde otra historia: una trama que se entrelaza con la vida real en la que los celos, las envidias, las ambiciones despiadadas y los asesinatos superan con creces a la ficci鏮. Anthony Horowitz, autor superventas del New York Times, nos transporta a un laber璯tico misterio que encierra otro misterio de la mano de personajes dignos de los mejores cl嫳icos en un escenario contempor嫕eo impecable y plagado de suspense.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NOW A PBS SERIES

From the New York Times bestselling author of Moriarty and Trigger Mortis, this fiendishly brilliant, riveting thriller weaves a classic whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie into a chilling, ingeniously original modern-day mystery.

When editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, she has no reason to think it will be much different from any of his others. After working with the bestselling crime writer for years, she's intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus Pd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Alan's traditional formula has proved hugely successful. So successful that Susan must continue to put up with his troubling behavior if she wants to keep her job.

Conway's latest tale has Atticus Pd investigating a murder at Pye Hall, a local manor house. Yes, there are dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects, but the more Susan reads, the more she's convinced that there is another story hidden in the pages of the manuscript: one of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition, and murder.

Masterful, clever, and relentlessly suspenseful, Magpie Murders is a deviously dark take on vintage English crime fiction in which the reader becomes the detective.
