One of the few once off novels by Elly Griffiths. A number of magicians are murdered in a "magic act gone wrong" type of way. Everything appears to be connected to a WWII intelligence operation wherein said magicians partook. A well-written era whodunnit, but it lacks breadcrumbs 3.5/5

"Max had told him in Eastbourne, 'The thing about The Zig Zag girl is that it's a trick that depends on the girl'...
Maybe the flower-buyer and the sword-purchaser were really two different people? There was still the problem of motive though. Try as his might, Edgar couldn't unearth one reason why anyone should want to kill a retired show-girl, a comedian and a housewife. They were linked, albeit tenuously, but the Magic Men."
