Susan Ryeland edits mysteries, but when the last chapter of a manuscript goes missing she sets out to solve her own, in the new series Magpie Murders:
The editor Susan Ryeland has deals to make at the Frankfurt Book Fair, but fortunately her best-selling author at Clover Books, Alan Conway, has a new novel on the way:, the next installment of the Atticus Pünd detective series. She’s also lucky to have a thoughtful boyfriend in Andreas Patakis, a teacher of Ancient Greek who calls Susan’s office to learn her hotel room and shows up all the way from England on his day off to spend the weekend with her.
Susan calls Charles in a flutter: he’s killing off Pünd, she says. Clover’s money-maker! She asks Charles to convince Alan to change his mind while he’s still in London—Alan had dinner with Charles on Thursday evening but is returning to his Suffolk estate soon. Susan has never gotten on with Alan, so she’d rather Charles, his friend, speak with the author.
The local police seem suspicious of Robert, Joy tells Pünd and his assistant Fraser, but she knows Robert didn’t kill Mary: Joy stayed overnight at his apartment and was with him the morning Mary died. Mary was against Robert’s engagement to Joy, but she doesn’t want to tell Pünd why.Alan doesn’t get along with his sister, Claire, either.
