Wonderful read. Slow in some sections but more or less kept me entertained the entire time.
Bullshit ending. Terrible story. No character or plot development. People died and I didn't care. Plot was, “We need to do this.” to “Ok, we did this.... but there's a twist.” Find something else.
10 hours of “I got sex”. Everything else of the 45 hour book was good and kept me going.
I started reading this when I had finished my other beach book called “Murder in the Family.” While walking along the beach, the hotel had been kind enough to set up a table that people can place and swap books from those that had been left. I picked up “Magpie Murders” purely due to the cover, title, and the fact that it seemed to be another murder mystery.
I knew nothing about this book going into it and looking back at the last month, I am happy that I had not read reviews before snapping it up, plopping down into my beach chair and starting in.
I was thrown for a loop when the murder mystery, had its own Murder Mystery inside of it. Like a Murder Mystery Turducken. I very much enjoyed the book, and I was guessing all throughout on who the killer(s) were. I will most likely look into other books by Horowitz, but I also enjoy the idea what this book spontaneously came into my life through the hotel table on the beach.
