Nothing here is quite as it first appears. A magician's assistant dies in Brighton and old tricks of misdirection prove useful again; an alibi that should end a case only deepens the mystery around it; a man who cannot forget a single detail finds his gift becoming a curse, and a chance sighting online draws a detective into a web of lies built to exploit the vulnerable. All four titles reward the reader who likes working things out for themselves.
Peter James, Not Dead Enough – Roy Grace pushes past a perfect alibi into a case of stolen identity that will keep readers guessing until the close.
Harlan Coben, Missing You - Detective Kat Donovan uncovers a scheme built on lies after a chance glimpse of an ex-fiancé on a dating site online. Now a Netflix series
David Baldacci, Memory Man – Decker cannot forget a single detail of his own tragedy. A year on, a school massacre and a mysterious confession reopen the case.
Elly Griffiths, The Great Deceiver – 1953; and retired magician Max Mephisto returns to the stage to expose a killer hiding among old rivalries
Excellent choice. I have only read 3 books so far but have enjoyed them immensely and I am looking forward to the next book. I have bought from bookhound before and will again. Thank you.
