Free Audiobook : Marble Hall Murders (Magpie Murders, Book 3), by Anthony Horowitz

Susan Ryeland is done with murder, or so she thought. After two close calls editing Atticus Pünd novels that dragged her into real-life danger, she’s left her Greek island hotel and boyfriend Andreas for a fresh start in England. Freelancing for a London publisher, she’s roped into a job she dreads: editing Pünd’s Last Case, a continuation of the Pünd series by Eliot Crace, the troubled grandson of a famous children’s author. Eliot’s convinced his grandmother Miriam was poisoned years ago, and he’s hidden her killer’s identity in his manuscript, pulling Susan into a mystery she can’t ignore.

The manuscript takes her to a sun-soaked villa in the South of France, where Pünd investigates the suspicious death of a wealthy woman poised to rewrite her will. As Susan listens, she spots eerie parallels between the fictional crime and Eliot’s family secrets, each clue tightening the knot between past and present. Horowitz spins a tale that’s both a nostalgic nod to classic whodunits and a sharp, modern thriller, with twists that keep you guessing what’s real and what’s not.

Narrated by Lesley Manville and Tim McMullan, this audiobook brings Susan’s grit and Pünd’s quiet brilliance to life, making every moment crackle with suspense. Marble Hall Murders is a puzzle-lover’s dream, offering two mysteries woven so tightly you’ll be hooked until the final truth unravels. Dive in for a listen that’s as clever as it is chilling, where the stakes are high and the answers are never what they seem.
