Free Audiobook : Moonflower Murders (Magpie Murders, Book 2), by Anthony Horowitz

Life on a Greek island should be a dream for Susan Ryeland, but managing a small hotel with her partner Andreas is more chaos than charm. She’s itching for something to shake up the monotony, and it arrives in the form of Lawrence and Pauline Treherne, guests with a haunting tale. Eight years ago, a brutal murder rocked their Suffolk hotel on the same day their daughter Cecily got married. Now Cecily’s gone missing, and the Trehernes think a book Susan once worked on holds the key to finding her.

That book is an Atticus Pünd mystery by Alan Conway, Susan’s former author, who spun a 1950s tale of a murdered American star that’s eerily close to the real crime. As Susan dives into the novel, she’s drawn into a game of mirrors, where fictional clues seem to point to real-world truths. Horowitz crafts a story that’s both a love letter to golden-age mysteries and a devilishly clever thriller, keeping you hooked with every twisty turn.

With Lesley Manville and Allan Corduner’s narration, this audiobook pulls you into Susan’s world and Pünd’s vintage sleuthing with equal flair. Moonflower Murders is a puzzle-lover’s delight, wrapping one mystery inside another until you’re desperate to untangle them both. Get ready for a listen that’s as fun as it is fiendish, with surprises that hit when you least expect them.
