(read aloud)
This is a fascinating, complex book, consisting of an account by a publisher of mysteries about the murder of an author of a mystery novel. The novel is almost completely contained in the text, and there are complicated parallels between the mystery novel, the mystery author's mysterious murder, and the mystery publisher's mysterious involvement in it all. Add a bunch of puzzles and anagrams and you have a recipe for days of pleasant intrigue. The writing is delightful and the changes of voice in the various parts quite remarkable. Will give Horowitz another look.
