Very enjoyable pastiche of classic style mysteries, with knowing nods to all of the greats, from Dame Agatha (of course!) to modern eye-candy like "Midsomer Murders." In fact, you could say that you get real value for money here, as there are TWO pastiches: a full Christie-style novel within the novel, tucked into the story of the publisher's editor who unleashes her inner Nancy Drew, investigating the suspicious death of the author just after he hands in his manuscript. Horowitz, who has been involved in the creation and writing of some of the greats of the last 20 years ("MM," "Foyles War" and the David Suchet Poirot episodes) has a LOT of fun with the tropes.
