Dreaming Spies by Laurie R. King
Series

I once again fell in love with Sherlock and Mary.  Their wit, their deductive skills and their companions.  This time we traveled to Japan and the case revolves around a book.  Cherry blossoms, a tome and intrigue - how can you not be hooked!!

        Garment of Shadows  -  Laurie R. King

                        Series  -  #12


We are in Morocco after Mary's stint in the movies

Mary has amnesia.  She does not know who she is , where she is, or how she even got to Morocco.

Sherlock does not know where Mary is either.  So how can he help her!!!!

We meet up with some characters in past books, and some interesting new ones.  Again, Laurie describes the country as if you were there with Mary and Sherlock.   Cloak and dagger, spies,   the typical Mary Russell story.  Good read.
     The Magician's Lie -  Greer Macallister
       
                          Debut


Arden in a female illusionist.  Her speciality is being the only woman who saws a man in half.  One night after her show, a man is found murdered.  Yep, you got it,  he was cut in half by an axe!!!

Arden runs.  She is caught by a young police office and proceeds to tell him her life story.

A spoiler alert if your really like the illusion of magic.  The author tells how some of the illusions are actually done.  Bummer!!!
