The Houdini Girl by Martyn Bedford

4.0

About a magician whose girlfriend dies in a train accident. Or suicide? Or, wait, murder? But why? Told in flashbacks, including approximately a third of the story from her point of view. Really intriguing, since she turns out to be a much better illusionist than he is, and more scrupled in spite of (because of?) her rather ugly past.
