Continuing the plot of the previous work "The Magpie Murders", editor Susan Ryland escaped death and moved to a Greek island with her long-term boyfriend to run a family hotel on the island. But life has turned from the beauty in her imagination into a mess in reality - everything in the island hotel made her exhausted. Susan began to miss her career as a publisher in London, even though her publishing career had put her in mortal danger.
One day, two unexpected guests arrived, breaking Susan's peaceful and boring life. A couple from England approached her about a murder that had occurred in the hotel they owned on the day of their daughter Cecily's wedding. Susan couldn't help but be fascinated by it. They claimed that Cecily disappeared mysteriously a few hours after reading "Atticus Pound Comes to Solve the Case" (a crime novel written by Alan Conway and edited and published by Susan a few years ago). In order to save Cecily, Susan knows she must return to London and find out the truth.
Opening "Atticus Pound to Solve the Case" again, Susan seemed to see the ghost of Alan Conway appearing in front of her. The murder in the hotel and the mystery of Cecily's disappearance must be hidden in this novel...
Reader comments
The plot of this book is so exciting! Like a roller coaster ride, Susan's life went from wonderful to miserable, and then involved in a mysterious murder. I especially loved the part where she returns to London to find the truth, and it felt like I was solving the mystery with her. There is a sentence in the book that impressed me deeply, "Life has changed from the beauty of imagination to the reality of chicken feathers." This sentence is really appropriate. I feel this book is worth reading and I recommend it to you!
It's a good read. I borrowed a friend's copy of "The Magpie Murder" before, and then I found this book after doing some searching. It's a small sequel, right? (?) You can watch it after watching "The Magpie Murders". (Os: It's not easy for you, sister Susan. She thought she could live the rest of her life well after finally finishing "The Magpie Murder", but it turns out there is another "Owl Murder"). In short, there are many twists and turns, it is very interesting [full]
