Resumen del Editor

Murder at the Mall of America

When a magician is murdered in the midst of his act at the Mall of America, Eli Marks is asked to step in and take over the daily shows - while also keeping his eyes and ears open for clues about this bizarre homicide.

As Eli combs the maze-like corridors beneath the Mall of America's massive amusement park looking for leads, he also struggles to learn and perform an entirely new magic act. Meanwhile, the longtime watering hole for Uncle Harry and his Mystics pals is closing, so in addition to the murder investigation and the new act, Eli must help the grumpy (and picky) seniors find a suitable new hangout.

5 stars

This is a well developed and fun cozy mystery. Eli always manages to get into the thick of things. I love the parts about the magic show and the relationship between Eli and his uncle. The mystery is well plotted and entertaining. I look forward to the next book.

Loved it

What a great story! Set at a mega Mall featuring Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox the story has great characters. The plot is well considered and moves along. Loved the ending.

good pairing of reader and writer

very pleasant listening. would like to have seen the magic show. look forward to reading the other books in the series

Best of the series so far

Great story, it kept me guessing at each turn. And good friendships were formed.

Best in series thus far

Although the author states that he is not a magician, he obviously has researched the classic illusions and techniques. The characters are well-developed and interesting and are people in whom you can become invested. ALL the books in this series are excellent, however this one is my favorite. Sure, some situations are far from likely to occur, but shake out your believe-a-tron and just go with it.

The best of the series!

I’ve listened to all the books in this series, and this one was my favorite! It felt like it held more adventure, more fun characters & more magic! If you’re a fan of cozy mysteries & magic, you will adore this series. It’s charming, it’s lots of fun, and it contains so many behind the scenes of magic!

Gleefully Sarcastic!

This entire series is funny, clever and gleefully sarcastic. I have enjoyed every one thoroughly.

Perfect narration for a charming, funny mystery.

So often you have a great story with poor narration, or great narration with a poor story, but both are winners in this case. I look forward to exploring the rest of this series.

Excellent magic mystery series

Really well written mystery books that use Eli’s and his father’s experiences as professional magicians to help solve the case. The narration is spot on and the writing is conversational and flows well. The other magicians make the stories interesting and fun.

The Floating Light Bulb

Fun book, great narrator - very good at different voices. I’ll be sure to listen to others in this series.
