This just didn't hit the mark for me like I thought it would. Murder mystery set in the publishing world sounds right up my alley, but the dead author was VERY unlikable and I didn't love the flipping back and forth between reality and the fictional world. I also didn't like when Susan spoke with Mr. Pund. The end felt weird for me. Some of the mystery felt forced and I wish the clues made more sense. As someone who has watched Vienna Blood, I also found it very strange that the actors who play father and son on that show were now lovers on Magpie Murders (or at least exes). I just couldn't get around that. Lots of hype and a let down for me.
