MY THOUGHTS: I simply devoured Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz, the second in the Susan Ryeland series. And when the Trehernes tell her that their daughter is now missing, Susan knows that she must return to London and find out what really happened … It should be everything she’s always wanted – but is it? She’s exhausted with the responsibilities of making everything work on an island where nothing ever does, and truth be told she’s beginning to miss her old life in London.Īnd then a couple – the Trehernes – come to stay, and the story they tell about an unfortunate murder that took place on the same day and in the same hotel in which their daughter was married, is such a strange and mysterious one that Susan finds herself increasingly fascinated by it. She is running a small hotel on a Greek island with her longterm boyfriend Andreas. ‘It seems that our daughter has disappeared.’ĪBOUT MOONFLOWER MURDERS BY ANTHONY HOROWITZ: Retired publisher Susan Ryeland is living the good life.

If there is something in there, I can’t think of anyone more likely to find it.’ From what Sajid Khan told us, you knew Alan Conway better than anyone.
If he knew the killer and there was an innocent man in prison, surely Alan would have gone straight to the police! Why would he turn it into a work of fiction?’ ‘But that makes no sense at all, Pauline. He then somehow identified that person in Atticus Pund Takes the Case.’ ‘You believe that maybe, despite all the evidence, not to mention the confession, Stefan Codrescu did not kill Frank Parris and that Alan Conway came to the hotel and discovered – in a matter of days – who the real killer was. I had the sense of facts tumbling on top of each other, yet I knew there was something they hadn’t told me.
EXCERPT: ‘So, let me get this straight,’ I said.
