Book 1 of 3
Murder. Greed. Escape. Ego. Showmanship. Harry Houdini and his brother Dash are believable amateur detectives. New York at the turn of the century is a perfect backdrop. Oh, and there are automatons...I LOVE me some automatons.
This novel reminded me of Steve Hockensmith’s series Holmes on the Range. Both protagonists are enamored with Sherlock Holmes and use their unique skill set to solve murders. Both novels feature a brother crime fighting duo. However, one novel is set in the Wild West and the other in New York City.
Truth and justice are the driving force behind the brother’s quest to solve the mystery set before them. Of course, there’s bound to be a little magic along the way…
