Editor’s note Two careers in one. For younger readers, Alex Rider, the teenage spy: Stormbreaker is the most-read and lowest-rated, and the series improves to Scorpia, the best-rated. For adults, clever puzzle mysteries: Magpie Murders and the Hawthorne books, in which Horowitz writes himself in as the sidekick.
