Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz

This story is written as a book within a book, a two-for-one mystery packed full double-entendres, red herrings, and wordplay that would make Agatha Christie proud.

Even though the majority of detective stories are meant to fool the reader with an impossible reveal at the end, I prefer reading stories where the mystery is revealed for the reader along the way, so there can be a sense of dread and O-M-G as you discover sinister things about the characters. So I guess that means I prefer thrillers. Still though, this is great writing and I had so much fun guessing who done it.
