Moonflower Murders is a 2020 mystery novel by Anthony Horowitz.It is the sequel to his novel Magpie Murders, and like that one, involves a story within a story. Two years after Magpie Murders, Susan Ryeland is still on Crete, trying to run a boutique hotel with her Greek fiance Andreas. They are barely keeping their heads above water financially, and the stress involved with operating a struggling hotel is taking its toll on her relationship with Andreas. Additionally, Susan is missing her old career as an editor and the world of books in general.So she's not displeased when she is approached by a British couple, Lawrence and Pauline Treherne, with a job offer. Their daughter, Cecily, has disappeared. Immediately before she disappeared Cecily had been wondering about a tragic event that took place on her wedding day eight years before. Frank Parris, a businessman staying at the hotel, was found murdered in his room as Cecily and her husband Aiden were at their wedding reception. The handyman Stefan Tedrescu was convicted of the crime but Cecily came to realize he didn't do it. She realized this after reading an Alan Conway novel, Atticus Pünd Takes the Case. Conway had been to the Treherne hotel where Parris was murdered and used events from that killing as inspiration. Cecily's parents have come to Susan, Alan's editor, hoping that she can figure out what in the book tipped Cecily off, and how it's connected to Cecily's disappearance. | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Susan and Andreas once again are going through difficulty in their relationship. She nearly cheats on him in England but resists the temptation, and later, she's concerned that he's planning to leave her. Instead, he saves her life again and is there alongside her as support for the big Summation Gathering. | |

Faux Yay | |

Faux Yay: Aiden is a victim of this; unlike James, he isn't gay, he's straight, but desperation drove him to prostitute himself to older men. | |

Padding | |
| Moonflower Murders / int_21586e8c | comment |
Padding: In-Universe. Atticus Pünd Takes The Case had an entire chapter about the theft of a jewel, the Ludendorff Diamond, that had nothing at all to do with the rest of the story but was presented as another cool Atticus Pünd case. Susan remembers how she tried to talk Alan Conway into cutting that chapter out, only to realize that the book was pretty short as it was and would probably be too short for a novel if that chapter were cut. | |

Cozy Mystery | |
| Moonflower Murders / int_255dcf0f | comment |
Cozy Mystery: Deconstructed. The Atticus Pünd books are usually pretty straight examples (though not without darker hints in the vein of a traditional Agatha Christie novel). Susan's mysteries are often much more sordid and far from cozy, reflecting their modern origins. Notably, in Conway's novel, both killers calmly give up, while in the main story Aiden stabs a policeman and runs off, only to commit suicide. | |

Name of Cain: Madeline Cain, Atticus's Girl Friday in the novel-within-a-novel. She murdered Melissa's husband for thinking he killed Melissa, of whom she was a Loony Fan, and shows zero remorse because he was keeping her from the screen, even after finding out that she was wrong. | |

Late-Arrival Spoiler | |
| Moonflower Murders / int_5f3bb274 | comment |
Late-Arrival Spoiler: In-universe for Moonflower Murders and the Pünd book Atticus Pünd Takes The Case. Madeline Cain doesn't appear in Pünd's Last Case from Magpie Murders, because she's been replaced by James Fraser. This spoils fairly early that she's going to go in some way; she actually kills Melissa's husband after she believes that he killed Melissa. | |

Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Invoked in-universe. Susan, as Alan's editor, said she found the character of Eric Chandler very unsavory, given that he was The Peeping Tom who watched Melissa dress, and felt he should receive more of a comeuppance in Atticus Pünd Takes The Case. She also says that she found Atticus unsympathetic for choosing to reveal Nancy's pregnancy during The Summation and putting her through the trauma of being there, despite knowing that Nancy couldn't have killed Melissa and Nancy's suicide attempt. | |

Author Appeal | |
| Moonflower Murders / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: Once again, Alan Conway filled his book with puzzles and Easter eggs to amuse himself. The characters in Atticus Pund Takes the Case all have last names matching those of detective fiction authors, the name of a killer in that book is an anagram for that of the person who killed Frank Parris, and references to "Leo" or lions are scattered throughout the book, another hint that the killer is Aiden who is a Leo and worked as a rentboy under that name. | |

Summation Gathering: Atticus Pund gives one, Moonflower Murders, which is invoked by Susan. She says she wanted Conway to cut it because she found it out of character for Pund to humiliate one of the suspects that way, but Conway wouldn't budge. Susan also gives one, but unintentionally; she said she didn't expect Laurence to bring his whole family along. | |

Meta Fiction: The same conceit as the first book, but this one twists this approach somewhat — Susan is aware right from the start that she's in a murder mystery, and we don't get to the novel-within-a-novel (Atticus Pünd Takes the Case) until nearly halfway into the book. | |

The Dead Guy Did It: Subverted. In Atticus Pund Takes The Case, Francis Pendleton is stabbed to death after the strangulation of his wife, the famous actress Melissa. It's revealed that Francis was killed in an act of vengeance by Melissa's Loony Fan Madeline because he had strangled Melissa. The twist is that while he did that, he didn't kill her - he strangled her into unconsciousness and thought she was dead. Melissa revived, called her lover, and he strangled her to death. | |

Shady Real Estate Agent: Aiden met his wife Cecily while he was showing her a house — and he was also squatting in a swish flat so he could appear wealthy, and using it to prostitute himself. Although he worked at a hotel by then, he also murdered Cecily when she found out that he'd killed one of his clients. | |

Exact Words: "It was staring me in the face from the very first page." Cecily means both the dedication to Leo and Madeline's full name in the character page. "We've met before." Susan takes this to mean at the front desk. In reality, Alan recognized Aiden from his sordid past as Leo. | |

| Moonflower Murders / int_faf4a043 | comment |
Good Adultery, Bad Adultery: Bad adultery is Susan's considered affair with Craig (though she doesn't actually do it), and Melissa's in-story affair with Leonard, who murdered her to conceal it; good adultery is Cecily cheating on the sociopathic Aiden, who eventually murdered her, with Stefan. | |

Theme Naming: Conway gives the characters in every Atticus Pünd novel a differently-themed last name: it's crime writers in Moonflower Murders. | |
