Horowitz. This title is available as an ebook or audiobook from DownloadLibrary.
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 Pünd, 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 Pünd 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.
