    Lillie M. Evans Library District Book Club May 22, 2017 Biography: Author and television scriptwriter Anthony Horowitz was born in Stanmore, England. He attended boarding and public schools. He graduated from the University of York and published his first book, Enter Frederick K. Bower (1979), when he was 23. Anthony writes mostly children's books, including the Alex Rider series, The Power of Five series, and the Diamond Brothers series. The first Alex Rider book was made into a movie entitled Stormbreaker. He also writes novels for adults including The Killing Joke and The Magpie Murders. He has created Foyle's War and Midsomer Murders for television as well as written episodes for Poirot and Murder Most Horrid. Most recently he was commissioned by the Ian Fleming Estate to write the James Bond novel Trigger Mortis. Anthony was awarded Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to literature in January 2014. (Source: Bowker Author Biography) Similar Resources: Discussion Questions: 1. Anthony Horowitz's acknowledgements say, "Writing this book has been a joy and my hope is that I will have done some justice to the original." From what you know of Arthur Conan Doyle's novels, how does Anthony Horowitz's version compare? 2. "Holmes, you insist upon seeing yourself as a machine." — John Watson. Do you believe this to be so? Or do you think that Dr. Watson is oversimplifying Holmes character based on previously solved cases? 3. What were your reactions to the realization of what the House of Silk was and what it entailed? Some early novelists insisted that murder was the worst of crimes: has murder been devalued so much that other things are needed to shock readers? 4.

  • Approx. 18.5 Hours • Unabridged PERFORMED BY
    From New York Times bestselling author Anthony Horowitz—featuring his famous literary detective, Atticus Pund, and Susan Ryeland, hero of Magpie Murders—a brilliantly complex mystery with echoes of Agatha Christie etired publisher Susan Ryeland is living the good life. She is running a R small hotel on a Greek island with her long-term boyfriend, Andreas. It should be everything she’s always wanted. But is it? She’s exhausted with the responsibilities of making everything work on an island where nothing ever does, and, truth be told, she’s beginning to miss London. Then the Trehernes come to stay. The strange and mysterious story they tell, about an unfortunate murder that took place on the same day and in the same hotel in which their daughter was married—a picturesque inn on the Suffolk coast named Branlow Hall—fascinates Susan and piques her editor’s instincts. One of her former writers, the late Alan Conway, author of the fictional Magpie Murders, knew the murder victim—an advertising executive named Frank Parris—and once visited Branlow Hall. Conway based the third book in his detective series, Atticus Pund Takes the Case, on that very crime. The Trehernes’ daughter, Cecily, read Conway’s mystery and believed the book proves that the man convicted of Parris’s murder—a Romanian immigrant who was the hotel’s handyman—is innocent. When the Trehernes reveal that Cecily is now missing, Susan knows she must return to England and find out what really happened. Brilliantly clever, thrilling, and full of twists that will keep readers guessing with each revelation and clue, Moonflower Murders is a deviously dark take on vintage English crime fiction from one of the greatest masterminds of contemporary suspense, Anthony Horowitz.

Its international awards include the prestigious Macavity Award for Best Novel. A beguiling murder mystery with a solution that will both astonish and shock viewers, the plot of Magpie Murders revolves around the character Susan Ryeland, an editor who is given an unfinished manuscript of author Alan Conway’s latest novel, but has little idea it will change her life. The television adaptation is scripted by Horowitz, who is known to MASTERPIECE fans for the popular World War II mystery Foyle’s War. MASTERPIECE executive producer Susanne Simpson said, “Anthony Horowitz is a master mystery writer, and Magpie Murders is a beautiful and complex work. Our MASTERPIECE audience will truly enjoy this intriguing story of a mystery within a mystery.” MASTERPIECE is presented on PBS by WGBH Boston. Anthony Horowitz said, “Magpie Murders is my most successful novel and it wasn’t easy to adapt.
