About this audiobook
A locked room. A dead body. A murderous trick, worthy of a magician.
How can Eli prove he didn’t do it?
★★★★★
“A finely-tuned, diabolical, sneaky, smart, stylish mix of magic and mayhem.” - Steve Spill, Magician and Author of I Lie For Money
A casual glance out his apartment window turns Magician Eli Marks’ life upside down. After spotting a dead body in the projection booth of the movie theater next door, Eli is pulled into the hunt for the killer. But then the killer starts taking homicidal steps to bring Eli’s investigation to a quick and decisive end.
Praise for THE MISERS DREAM:
“Hands-down the funniest thing I have read in a long time, expertly paced and hilariously detailed.” - Seattle Book Mama
“This book reminded me of the Nick and Nora Charles adventures—slightly noir and slightly zany. An enjoyable read.” - Victoria Kemp, Librarian at Flower Mound Public Library
“I loved this book. From beginning to end I was hooked. The story is fantastic and the cast leaves you wanting to know more. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.” - Bookschellves
“With twists and turns, flurries of romance, and a cast of characters that seem to be the unholy spawn of The Maltese Falcon and The Third Man, The Miser’s Dream keeps the pages turning and the reader delighted from start to finish.” - Jeffrey Hatcher, Screenwriter, Mr. Holmes
“It’s full of magic, mystery, danger and misdirection, as a good magic trick should be. I love this cozy mystery series, a thoroughly delightful read.” - Sweet Mystery Books
