Oh, what fun! Mystery buffs know what it means when I say “locked room mystery.” It’s one of those murders that can’t happen – and yet, it does! So who did it… how was it accomplished… and why? With lots of interesting potential killers and amazingly tantalizing possible motives as well, you’ll likely not guess the outcome before our hero Joseph Spector solves the mystery. Actually, he solves three “impossible crimes” by calling on his skills as a magician, since there’s a second murder involved plus an impossible theft. This is a debut out of the U.K. that flew into the hands of one of mystery-dom’s favorite publishers in New York City. Thanks, Otto! You’ve done it again…
