Book #1 of the series sets the stage for the Stephens & Mephisto Mysteries ( aka Magic Men) and a fine story it was. ( I had already finished book #2)
The Magic Men unit in WWII apparently had brought together a group of people who did not always relate well to others. People who were thought to be dead were alive, and were trying to do others in.The first murder was a female cut in three pieces, like magicians pretend to do. Who was the spy in their war unit?
Max Mephisto and DI Edgar Stephens were friends in the war and their friendship deepens. The dynamics of the Brighton Police Unit are amusing and the book is extremely well written. Elly Griffiths is a masterful writer. I will now get Book #3 and look forward to a 4th in the series later this year.
