Marble Hall Murders: The BRAND NEW novel in the major hit BBC series Magpie Murders from the Sunday Times bestselling author

Editor Susan Ryeland has left her Greek Island, her hotel and her Greek boyfriend Andreas in search of a new life in England. She is freelancing for Causton Books, where she is asked to work on a ‘continuation’ novel , Pund’s Last Case , by a young author, Eliot Crace. Susan is surprised: Eliot Crace is the grandson of one of the most well known children’s authors ever, Marian Crace. Think Enid Blyton, then double her sales. Marian Crace died some 15 years previously and Eliot is sure she was poisoned. Rather doubtfully, Susan starts to read the opening chapters, finding to her relief that Pund’s Last Case is actually pretty good. Set in the South of France, it revolves around the mysterious death of Lady Margaret Chalfont who, though mortally ill, is poisoned – perhaps by a member of her own family. But why? And who did it? It soon becomes clear to Susan that the clues to who was responsible for the death of Eliot’s grandmother, Marian Crace, are hidden from view in this Atticus Pund mystery. Eliot’s behaviour becomes increasingly erratic as his alcohol and gambling addictions increase. But when he is killed in a hit and run accident, Susan realises that she is suspected of his murder. Three mysterious deaths and a group of people with multiple motives for murder: Susan realises that if she doesn’t solve the mystery in Pund’s Last Case , her death may well be next … Praise for the Magpie Murders series . . . ‘A beautiful puzzle: fiendishly clever and hugely entertaining.
