The Review
What is the story of the MAGPIE, do you know?
Apparently magpies are historically associated with magic and fortune telling and witches rode them or turned into them, something along those lines.
In literature there is a rhyme that starts one for sorrow, two for joy and so on. The number of magpies you see constitutes your luck.
I take them them to be lucky in the right quantity and I was intrigued by the premise before reading the synopsis.
In the book MAGPIE by Elizabeth Day we are following Marissa and Jake and then we meet their lodger Kate.
Their arrangement feels rocky at best and we go along as the story unfolds and we find out just how rocky it actually is.
I enjoyed the turn in the book and I think that turn will decide your level of enjoyment for the entire book. If you’re hooked, which I was, then the turn will feel expected and gratuitous only adding to your reading pleasure.
I recommend this one to readers who like a good ride and don’t mind being surprised. If you guessed the twist then you’re a far better detective than I am cause I did not see it coming.
Thanks to Netgalley and Simon and Schuster For this advanced copy!
