Nothing really groundbreaking here, but it’s fun, and that counts for something.

The hero’s blind, but that just makes him a blind Henry Higgins.

Goodness, just how many secret spy action hero Dukes are there?

Some books give me chills. This one gives me rigor mortis.

Every time I’m convinced these characters can’t be any dumber, the author surprises me.

An illusionist and a theater owner, ooh. But don’t get too excited, it’s not happening.

Why have a Chinese heroine flailing in 1920’s England, if the author is going to just turn her into a Chinese Bridget Jones?
