About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin

Now a major BBC series starring Lesley Manville

Featuring his famous literary Detective Atticus Pund and Susan Ryeland, hero of the worldwide best seller Magpie Murders, a brilliantly brain-teasing literary thriller by Anthony Horowitz. The follow-up to Magpie Murders.

Retired publisher Susan Ryeland is living the good life. She is running a small hotel on a Greek island with her long-term boyfriend, Andreas. It should be everything she's always wanted - but is it? She's exhausted with the responsibilities of making everything work on an island where nothing ever does, and truth be told she's beginning to miss her old life in London.

And then a couple - the Trehearnes - come to stay, and the story they tell about an unfortunate murder that took place on the same day and in the same hotel in which their daughter was married is such a strange and mysterious one that Susan finds herself increasingly fascinated by it. And when the Trehearnes tell her that their daughter is now missing, Susan knows that she must return to London and find out what really happened....

.but the ...story tried too hard...many characters with no real role . seemed more like a movie waiting to be made .

Loved the reading

Kept me hanging on suspense on every page.. Loved that the book leaves its readers or rather its listeners so engrossed. A story within a story... Just brilliant. It felt sort of obvious here and there but overall took me by surprise and left me restless as if I were the silent witness present at every scene.

Quite good narration!

Quite an Extraordinary Turn of Events

This quote from the book is an apt description. There are three different mysteries to be solved in the book and the reader has all the clues needed to solve them.

Beautifully written. Beautifully Read. Neat story line.
Unputdownable!

liked everything about this book including that it helped me sleep and yet kept me engaged till the very last page.

performance and overall storyline

First of all, both the narrators were absolutely brilliant. As for the novel it is a good whodunit. A novel inside a novel. However the story sometimes strayed off the path and became too predictable. We could guess where the author is taking us. Still, I'd recommend this.

A good whodunit.

I struggle a lot with audiobooks and this is the first one I finished! I enjoyed this one but would definitely have been easier and faster if I'd read it. Good performance and an interesting story. The story within("Atticus Pund takes the case") was tiring at first but got better as it went on. Great audiobook for beginners. 👍

My first audiobook

Love the book in book format very much! You get two mysteries for the price of one! Well-performed and entertaining book.

Very entertaining. Unforeseeable ending.

A book that I am going to remember for a long time to come. A Horowitz classic that deftly handles a metanarrative as well as the main plot. A brilliant book that, in my opinion, even pales The Magpie Murders. Atticus Pund and Susan and The Lion forms a triangulated scheme that delivers a well indented narrative sucker punch that I, for one, relished.

A Leonine Adventure
