After the murder of an acclaimed doctor in his locked study, with no sign of a murder weapon or the murderer, magician Joseph Spector is brought in by Detective Flint to help bring the perpetrator to justice.
I absolutely flew through this! A classic styled mystery set in the 1930s, it had me gripped throughout, and I learned I’m a long way from earning my detective badge.
The only thing I was yearning for was more on Joseph Spector himself - however as this looks as if it may be the first in a series, I think I just need to practice patience!
