I did not like this as much as I had hoped. There just wasn't that much to it, in the end.

On now to Anthony Horowitz's Magpie Murders. The concept is interesting - an editor is reading a murder mystery manuscript and begins to suspect the author of real-life murder. The book-within-a-book structure is hard to pull off credibly, but in the first 50 pages or so Horowitz is doing it nicely.
