Summary: I howled with laughter!
Review: i was attracted to this book because of the author, whom i respect as a very good weaver of tales. and he has woven a rather preposterous tale, but his style has made it very entertaining and easy to read from cover to cover. it looks like the harry houdini was draw straight from the tony curtis movie characterization. and sherlock has nothing in common with jeremy or basil. not as good as the croft mysteries, but better than what lots of others are writing.

Summary: The title says it all.
Review: Once started, the reader can hardly pause in finishing this action packed and well crafted mystery. The hero, Phil Beaumont, is a Pinkerton Operative assigned to bodyguard Harry Houdini on a trip to England. The key to the solution of the murder lies in learning the true identity of all the suspects, just as in my THE PINKERTON EYE. The quality of the novel is enhanced by the author's clever use of the epistolary technique
to strengthen the story line. I highly recommend this mystery
novel.

Review: Satterhwait's sardonic descriptions and droll characterizations made me roll with laughter and kept me awake far past my bedtime for a school night. I look forward to his next book with Phil Beaumont and the latest Pinkerton, Jane Turner.
