This latest puzzle mystery from the author of Death and the Conjuror and The Murder Wheel takes stage magician sleuth Joseph Spector to a grand estate in the English countryside.Victor Silvius has spent nine years as an inmate at The Grange, a private sanatorium, for the crime of attacking judge Sir Giles Drury. Now, the judge’s wife, Lady Elspeth Drury, believes that Silvius is the one responsible for a series of threatening letters her husband has recently received. Eager to avoid the scandal that involving the local police would entail, Lady Elspeth seeks out retired stage magician Joseph Spector, whose discreet involvement in a case Sir Giles recently presided over greatly impressed her.Meanwhile, Miss Caroline Silvius is disturbed after a recent visit to her brother Victor, convinced that he isn’t safe at The Grange. Someone is trying to kill him and she suspects the judge, who has already made Silvius’ life a living hell, may be behind it. Caroline hires Inspector George Flint of Scotland Yard to investigate.The two cases collide at Marchbanks, the Drury family seat of over four hundred years, where a series of unnerving events interrupt the peace and quiet of the snowy countryside. A body is discovered in the middle of a frozen pond without any means of getting there and a rifle is fired through a closed window, killing a man but not breaking the glass. Only Spector and his mastery of the art of misdirection can uncover the logical explanations for these impossible crimes.An atmospheric and puzzling traditional mystery that pays homage to the greatest writers of the genre’s Golden Age, Cabaret Macabre is the third book in Tom Mead’s Joseph Spector series, hailed by the Wall Street Journal as “a recipe for pure nostalgic pleasure.” The books can be enjoyed in any order.Review”Ingenious . . . Mead hides all the clues in plain sight, constructing a fair-play puzzle that will delight and challenge readers who love pitting their own wits against the author’s. It’s another crackerjack entry in an exceptional series.”― Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW”Mind-bogglingly complex . . . A lovely valentine to Mead’s idol, John Dickson Carr, and even more to Clayton Rawson’s tales of The Great Merlini.”― Kirkus”A delightful golden-age puzzle . . . There are Agatha Christie-like twists aplenty and a final scene that Patricia Highsmith might have imagined. All in all, if you’re looking for diversion―and these days who isn’t?―this latest novel in Mead’s Joseph Spector series will do the trick.”― Washington Post”Thread by thread, the brilliant Spector unties a Gordian knot of illusions to a riveting conclusion. Cabaret Macabre is wonderfully intriguing on the first read, but to fully appreciate Mead’s complex plotting, it is well worth a second read.”― The Big Thrill”Nothing and no one are what they seem to be in Cabaret Macabre. This simply ups the ante for Tom Mead, who sits back and composes a mystery that is beyond clever and will make you think about what you’ve just read long after the cases are solved.”― BookReporterPublisher ‏ : ‎ Head of ZuessLanguage ‏ : ‎ EnglishHardcover ‏ : ‎ 291 pagesISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1613165300Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.2 poundsDimensions ‏ : ‎ 5.9 x 1.1 x 8.6 inches
