Free Audiobook : Magpie Murders, by Anthony Horowitz

Susan Ryeland is a book editor with a knack for spotting a good story, but she’s not prepared for the puzzle that lands on her desk. The latest manuscript from her star author, Alan Conway, is another classic whodunit featuring the sharp-eyed detective Atticus Pünd. Set in a sleepy 1950s English village, it’s got all the makings of a cozy mystery: a suspicious death, a grand manor, and a cast of shifty locals. But as Susan listens to the story unfold, something feels off, like there’s a secret hiding just beneath the surface.

This isn’t just a tale of fictional murder. The deeper Susan digs into Conway’s manuscript, the more she senses it’s tangled up with something real, something dangerous. Her world of publishing deadlines and author egos starts to blur with the clues she’s uncovering, pulling her into a mystery that’s as twisty as the one she’s editing. Horowitz spins a story that’s both a love letter to old-school detective tales and a sly, modern thriller, keeping you guessing at every turn.

As you listen to this audiobook, you’ll be hooked by the dual narratives, each one rich with suspects and red herrings. Samantha Bond and Allan Corduner bring Susan and Pünd’s worlds to life with voices that draw you in, making every revelation feel like a whisper in your ear. Magpie Murders is a clever, irresistible ride that dares you to solve not one mystery, but two, before the final truth comes to light.
