Reviews
I had no idea that the publishing world could be so funny--and so dangerous. A Murder of Magpies reminds me of the comic crime novels of Donald E. Westlake, with its own humorous, deadly edge. Judith Flanders has created one of the most engaging main characters I've encountered in quite a while. Indeed, even the minor characters are memorable. I chuckled while I feared for their safety, and hope to meet them in another novel., Hilarious, big-hearted, clever, whip-smart and devious. A truly wonderful crime novel by a brilliant writer... Judith Flanders has found that difficult, magical ground between humour and crime, where the death is never trivialized, but the territory is hysterically pilloried. Brava!, "Hilarious, big-hearted, clever, whip-smart and devious. A truly wonderful crime novel by a brilliant writer... Judith Flanders has found that difficult, magical ground between humour and crime, where the death is never trivialized, but the territory is hysterically pilloried. Brava!" -- Louise Penny, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Long Way Home "Deadly funny.

Loved it." -- London Times "From the first page you want Samantha Clair to be your new best friend... [Flanders] keeps the reader intrigued and laughing in equal measure." -- Daily Mail (UK) "Mordantly funny; at last a novel about the world of fashion that seems to find it as ridiculous as I do." -- Philip Kerr, author of A Man Without Breath "I had no idea that the publishing world could be so funny--and so dangerous.

But like Bridget Jones, the obvious forerunner to her singleton London book editor/detective, Samantha Clair is not just played for laughs. There's some deep social satire in her investigation into the disappearance of a gossip columnist. And, yes, lots of laughs. -Cleveland Plain Dealer "Delightful and believable characters, as well as a neat turn at the end, will leave readers well satisfied and anticipating the next installment." -Publishers Weekly, Mordantly funny; at last a novel about the world of fashion that seems to find it as ridiculous as I do., From the first page you want Samantha Clair to be your new best friend...

Synopsis
A whip-smart, impeccably crafted debut mystery, A Murder of Magpies takes readers on a whirlwind tour of London and Paris with an unforgettably original new heroine It's just another day at the office for London book editor Samantha "Sam" Clair. Checking jacket copy for howlers, wondering how to break it to her star novelist that her latest effort is utterly unpublishable, lunch scheduled with gossipy author Kit Lowell, whose new book will dish the juicy dirt on a recent fashion industry scandal. Little does she know the trouble Kit's book will cause-before it even goes to print. When police Inspector Field turns up at the venerable offices of Timmins & Ross, asking questions about a package addressed to Sam, she knows something is wrong. Now Sam's nine-to-five life is turned upside down as she finds herself propelled into a criminal investigation. Someone doesn't want Kit's manuscript published and unless Sam can put the pieces together in time, they'll do anything to stop it. With this deliciously funny debut novel, acclaimed author Judith Flanders introduces readers to an enormously enjoyable, too-clever-for-her-own-good new amateur sleuth, as well Sam's Goth assistant, her effortlessly glamorous mother, and the handsome Inspector Field. A tremendously entertaining read, this page-turning novel from a bright new crime fiction talent is impossible to put down.
