The sequel to Magie Murders, I was wondering how Horowitz would be able to use the story within a story format again that would still make for a good story.

Luckily, Horowitz is a genius once again, this time leading with the crime and having the book work as a primary piece of evidence, as with all whodunnits, it's not apparent why it is relevant until the final chapter slaps you in the face with an explanation that makes it all make sense in a satisfying conclusion.

The Susan Ryeland books are a fantastic twist in the cozy crime genre and I recommend them all to those who enjoy the genre.
