Moonflower Murders is by Anthony Horowitz. The second book in the realistic mystery Magpie Murders series. Retired editor, Susan Ryeland, has abandoned her former life and moved on from her experiences with Alan Conway and his detective novels that almost got her killed. She has moved to Crete and is running a hotel with her boyfriend Andreas. The hotel is sucking their savings dry and when the Trehearne's arrive from England and offer her a lot of money for her help, she agrees. Conway based a novel on a murder at their hotel and when Cecily, their daughter, reads the novel she announces that the police arrested the wrong man. Now she has disappeared, and the Trehearne's believe that Susan can use Conway's novel to help them find Cecily and learn the truth about the murder. Horowitz, again, writes two books-in-one in this installment just like he did in Magpie Murders. Fans of the series will love this book as well.
Ratings: 12th grade - 9 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content).
