Moonflower Murders

Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked this Susan Ryeland mystery better than the first, even if the conceit is a little implausible--she gets hired to investigate the disappearance of a lady who realized someone was wrongfully convicted of a crime after reading one of Alan Conway's mysteries that Susan edited. Once again there is a modern mystery (maybe two--the original crime and the disappearance) and the cozy mystery. This time the modern mystery goes first and since we are set up to look for clues in the book version, this one was more fun. I thought the tandem mysteries worked well and even Susan wasn't as annoying. On this one, the PBS adaptation works slightly less well than the book, but both are worth looking into.
