Did Robert Blakiston kill his mother because she opposed his marriage to Joy Sanderling? And will we ever find out, given the missing last chapter of Magpie Murders? Recap the latest at
Flashback to an argument—about a flashback. Seven years ago, Alan and Susan clashed over one of his books. Alan wanted to be a serious writer and disliked that his Atticus Pünd novels were mere entertainment. To that end, he had included a flashback chapter about Pünd’s time in Auschwitz in one novel; Susan found it unnecessary.
Atticus Pünd is investigating the relationship between Robert Blakiston and his recently deceased mother, Mary. Robert’s father left Mary when Robert was young. Mary then moved with Robert and his brother Sam from a farm to Pye Hall to work as the housekeeper. Sir Magnus Pye served as a sort of replacement father to Robert, paying for his schooling and then helping him get a job and apartment.
Pünd also talks to Brent, the gardener of Pye Hall. He’s the one who found Mary dead at the bottom of the stairs in the house. He also reveals that Sir Magnus had affairs, including with his servants. He even got a governess, Miss Darnley, pregnant. Sir Magnus blamed Brent for theand loss of Roman antiquities—he should have been watching the house while the Pyes were away—and may have fired Brent—it was unclear.
Lee took a writing course with Alan and shared his idea for one of his novels in detail with Alan. It was called, and in it the lord of a manor has his head cut off. Lee knows from publicity for Alan’s upcoming novel that Alan stole his idea. He wrote to Jemima at Clover Books about the plagiarism but never heard back. Jemima has since left Clover, so Susan can’t ask her about it.ends, Susan does ask Lee who killed the country squire in his book.
