Once again, this series is such a smooth-reading experience! While the puzzle(s) at hand is complex, Mead's writing is impressively accessible. For the ultimate experience, I highly recommend you start where the magic begins: Death and the Conjuror. This series is perfect for those who enjoy locked room mysteries/impossible crimes, and the golden age detective fiction style (think Agatha Christie, John Dickson Carr, Ellery Queen, etc).
How did I read this book? In one sitting!
I was able to finish the book in one day during a reading-sprint event hosted by Krystal @bon_bookreviews on YouTube. She, Danni @danni.dabbles, and I had a blast returning to the world of Joseph Spector, and we already look forward to book 4!
Thank you Tom Mead and Mysterious Press for a free ARC in exchange for this honest review. Since then, I have acquired one of the gorgeous hardbacks to add to my growing Joseph Spector collection!!
