A review by wayfaring_witch
The Last Illusion, by Rhys Bowen
4.0
Yet another joyful ride with my favorite P.I. Molly Murphy... and Houdini? A perfect match! The book had me hooked, and so I turned early on to the the 'Historical Notes' but there was a stern order not to read it until the end. I was constantly wondering what was based off of actual research and what was created. Unfortunately it was very loosely based off of actual events, but Bowen did her research to portray real characters well.
The plot is a bit loose, with a vague 'mystery' to follow in the first place, and it gets a little loopy. Still we learn a little about a lot! We also are getting closer to wedding bells, and an increasingly possessive Daniel. It was a plot issue that was getting old, and I hope the next book (and I hope there will be one!) we find Molly and Daniel working these issues out.
