The Houdini Girl - Martyn Bedford (Absorbing)
I read this book four years ago. I remember that though the story dragged in a few places, overall the book was pretty intriguing. Red, a professional magician who's fallen madly in love with - and unexpectedly lost - a tough cookie named Rosa.This book is stylish and fast moving, but by the end it gets tediously overcomplicated. Red loses Rosa early, in a grisly and mysterious train accident, and spends the rest of the novel reflecting on their time together and searching for the key to what really happened, an inquiry that puts his own life in jeopardy.
“The Houdini Girl” is a well written and interesting novel.
