A review by suze_1624
L'angelo del prestigiatore by Jordan L. Hawk
4.0
Pacy, short story that delivers. 3.75*
We have Christopher, the travelling magician trying to make it big but currently stuck i the Iowa backwaters.
Then Edward an accountant whose brother runs the familt theatre that is dying on it’s feet.
Add a dose of attraction and a number in the theatrical company to get a satisfying cosy mystery (though I did guess the murderer the second time they went through where everyone was), a nice encounter and then more domesticity which was alien to both men and the lure of the big time. And of course the angel - liked the link back to the previous story.
And in the end we got a bit more than just the hfn the times may have really allowed!
