He now writes full-time, and has co-written a number of books with Louise Voss. It was revenge.”Īb out The Author: Mark Edwards (1970 – ) is a British novelist, whose past careers have included everything from answering complaint calls for a rail company to teaching English in Japan and being a marketing director. Justice? Who was he kidding? It wasn’t justice he craved. He had severely underestimated his nemesis because he was blinded by the desire for justice. He was still stuck in the past, unable to move on. “The protective shell he’d built around himself was gossamer-thin, his new life was nothing but a façade. “It became known as the ‘Magpies’ trial’ after Knight’s lawyer compared Lucy and Chris to the ‘black-and-white pests’ who are renowned for destroying the nests of other birds.”
I’m definitely eager for the last book in the series now…įavorite Quotes from A Murder of Magpies: This was a really short book (got an hour or so?), but it was good! The suspense built quickly, and never really ended.
The book is about revenge….and much more. Jamie, on the other hand, although likable, needs to be slapped.
This book just sucked me in.Īpparently I am now addicted to this Lucy/Jamie rivalry. Unfortunately, there is so much more at play. It looks like Lucy is up to her old tricks, and Jamie is going to put a stop to it. When he gets a message from someone who is going through the same hell he had, he jumps in to help. Jamie went a little crazy, but found a good therapist, and is back on a some-what even keel. But then Lucy’s appeal was up-held, and the murder convictions over-turned. For a while he was obsessed with a website that had followed Lucy’s murders, trial and conviction, becoming one of the site’s out-spoken haters of Lucy. He still misses Kirsty, but she has moved on and has a daughter of her own. It’s been five years now, and Jamie has moved to Australia, as far away from the fiasco of his old life as he could get. My Synopsis: (No major reveals, but if concerned, skip to My Opinions) A scuffle with Chris lead to a fire in the flat, resulting in Chris’s death, but not before Jamie had all the evidence he needed to put Lucy Newton behind bars. He also discovered that Lucy Newton was responsible for 18 deaths in the long-term care facility in which she worked. Eventually he discovered that the Newton’s had bugged their apartment, and videotaped them. Kirsty eventually left, but Jamie’s pride took over. Chris and Lucy Newton made their lives hell. Jamie and Kirsty thought they had found the home of their dreams until the downstairs neighbours started to torment them.
