Critic Reviews

"An intriguing cross between noir and cozy, with fascinating details about magic tricks and plenty of quirky characters. An easy, enjoyable listen for mystery buffs seeking a bit of an escape from the usual crime fiction fare." (Library Journal)

“The deftly plotted mystery is enriched by Eli’s relationships with his ex-wife, her new husband, his old-school stage magician Uncle Harry, and an interesting collection of people and places in and around St. Paul.... This stylish novel is filled with interesting details, snappy dialogue, and appealing characters.” (More Than a Review)
