The Magician's Lie, by Greer Macallister
4.0
It all starts out when Arden, famous for sawing a man in half, one night trades her saw for an ax. When her husband is found dead later that night, killed by an ax, Arden is the obvious suspect. Did this famed illusionist kill her husband or was it all...an illusion? She professes her innocence but is she telling the truth or is it all just one big lie? Her career is all smoke and mirrors but in this novel it's her life that is all the line.
I kept going back and forth while reading. Did I believe Arden or not? I also found it a bit odd that handcuffs could hold this amazing illusionist as she sits talking to the officer. Honestly, handcuffs? I didn't buy it; surely a famed illusionist could escape from simple police handcuffs, right? In the end though it all comes together perfectly and I was extremely satisfied.
