An interesting first book in the series. The story jumps perspective between the 2 main characters Edgar and Max which made me feel as though I didn't get to know either one particularly well. Hopefully their characters will develop more in the following installments. I didn't like it quite as much as her Ruth Galloway series. I enjoyed the slightly decaying golden age theme with the seedy seaside towns and magicians.
