Hi, today I’m reviewing The Murder Wheel. I really enjoyed this book a lot. Yeah, it’s ostensibly a locked-room mystery, but it involves magicians, so there will be trickery. And it is about, the protagonist is somebody who I can really relate to because he’s a lawyer, a lawyer, trying to defend a client who’s been accused of murdering her husband on a Ferris Wheel of all places.

And he is looking at all these different witnesses and gets involved in inquiring at this theater. And the next thing you know there’s a murder at the theater. Involving magic. Yeah, he’s interested in magic also, I should say. He’s interested in magicians and magic. And magic is what’s involved in this and magic tricks.

Yeah, that’s about it. But it’s fun to read. I have to tell you. It is fun to read. And I liked Ibbs so much. Poor Edmund Ibbs, who ends up in the frame, so to speak. And it’s interesting that…
