Praise

“Mystery lovers will get a kick out of this rollicking whodunit featuring swashbuckling soothsayers, outlandish séances, magic tricks and more.”
— Publishers Weekly Read

“Lawrence sets his story perfectly in the times, with particular emphasis on the razzle-dazzle of vaudevillian speech. Chapter headings, titled like newspaper extra editions, give a date-by-date account of happenings in the novel and in the world, such as the June 2, 1926, antics of flagpole sitters and Admiral Byrd’s adventures at the North Pole.”
— Horn Book Magazine 

“The first-person perspective is punchy and engaging…Drawing from several true stories, Lawrence has crafted an elaborate, fun, fast-paced murder mystery with a rich sense of time and place.”
— Kirkus Reviews
