Charlie Howard isn’t only a part-time crime writer and part-time thief; he’s also a magician. For his next trick, he’ll relieve Josh Masters, the famous illusionist vying for the affections of Charlie’s agent Victoria, of a fortune in casino chips stashed in his hotel safe. Revenge would be sweet—if there weren’t a dead redhead floating in Masters’ bathtub and Masters himself hadn’t just disappeared in a puff of smoke after cheating at roulette. Convinced that Charlie is in on the scam, the casino’s owners give him an impossible mission: pull off an elaborate heist to reimburse the house for every dollar his “accomplice” made off with, or enjoy a one-way trip into the desert.

Well, sign me up for the rest of the series, because this was a blast.

This crime novel is so full of twists and surprises that it was perhaps only to be expected that the solution to the actual murder mystery, at the end, is not quite able to match some of the fabulous stuff that went be ...more

Not as much fun as the first two. Charlie is much less likeable in this one, and the plot is even more contrived. Fun, yes, but a big letdown from the first ones. ...more
