7/10
This is a mystery within a mystery...a vintage storyline is interwoven with a current one.

Mysteries abound in this series as editor Susan Ryeland receives the latest Atticus Pünd mystery novel to edit. While reading through the manuscript she discovers she is missing the final chapter...the "who dunnit" of the mystery. After discovering author Alan Conway is now dead, Susan embarks on tracking down the missing pages which leads her to some interesting and personal discoveries. Meanwhile the pages of Atticus Pünd are brought to life as we simultaneously try to solve the case of the fictional mystery.

This was an interesting story telling technique, solving a mystery within a mystery. The author is famous for basing his characters on real life...adding an additional parallel twist. Some of his fictional characters ended up shedding light on real life characters pointing to some very real life suspects.

If you are a mystery fan, especially a fan of mysteries like Hercules Perot...I think you will enjoy this series.
