Marble Hall Murders
Synopsis of Marble Hall Murders
In Marble Hall Murders, Susan Ryeland has had enough of murder.
She’s edited two novels about the famous detective, Atticus Pünd, and both times she’s come close to being killed. Now she’s back in England and she’s been persuaded to work on a third.
The new ‘continuation’ novel is by Eliot Crace, grandson of Miriam Crace who was the biggest selling children’s author in the world until her death exactly twenty years ago.
Eliot believes that Miriam was deliberately poisoned. And when he tells Susan that he has hidden the identity of Miriam’s killer inside his book, Susan knows she’s in trouble once again.
As Susan works on Pünd’s Last Case, a story set in an exotic villa in the South of France, she uncovers more and more parallels between the past and the present, the fictional and the real world – until suddenly she finds that she has become a target herself.
It seems that someone in Eliot’s family doesn’t want the book to be written. And they will do anything to prevent it.
Marble Hall Murders, la nueva intriga escrita por Anthony Horowitz, nos reencuentra con la editora Susan Ryeland, quien ya ha tenido suficiente con los crímenes.
Tras editar dos novelas sobre el famoso detective Atticus Pünd y rozar la muerte en ambas ocasiones, Susan regresa a Inglaterra. Allí acaba cediendo para trabajar en una tercera entrega. Esta novela forma parte de una saga continuada por Eliot Crace, nieto de Miriam Crace, la autora infantil más vendida del mundo hasta su fallecimiento dos décadas atrás.
Eliot está convencido de que su abuela fue envenenada intencionadamente. Cuando le revela a Susan que ha ocultado la identidad del asesino dentro del propio manuscrito, la editora comprende que vuelve a estar en peligro. Mientras trabaja en la obra, ambientada en el sur de Francia, Susan descubre inquietantes paralelismos entre ficción y realidad. De pronto, se convierte en el objetivo de alguien dispuesto a todo con tal de frenar la publicación del libro.
