Kellie (USA: NC) (2007/05/19): #5 of the Lincoln Rhyme Series This was a great book. It definitely followed the Deaver formula but the magic and illusion references were very interesting. Deaver is a master. This was about an illusionist who was killing people. The murders were actually a diversion. The identification of the murderer was also a diversion. Kara, a local magician, was used to help give some great information on illusion. Deaver does an excellent job with the suspense and also intermingling the character development of the series. There were twists right up until the very end. This by far was one of his best. 5 out of 5
