SUCH an incredible start to the series - the author clearly has a lot of knowledge to give about Houdini's life, and he delivers it in such a fun romp. The two main characters have an excellent repartee together, Houdini is larger than life in a really compelling way, and it feels like such a fresh take on the Holmes-and-Watson-esque genre.
