Book 90: Magpie Murders, Anthony Horowitz


 I tried, for a couple of days, to read a book which was recommended during a Facebook discussion about crime fiction (Ice Princess by Camilla Lackberg) but found it really badly written (clunky) and formulaic - can't be 100 per cent sure the writing part is the fault of the author, as it was in translation, but as I've read lots of books in translation which read beautifully...  Anyway, gave up in frustration and turned to something I knew would hold up; Anthony Horowitz can always be relied on to write well, and this double murder mystery (there's a book within the book) was no exception. Good fun.
