The magic interests of the main character drew me into a suspenseful reading experience. Kardos creates a kind of magic with twists and turns in plot and style. This character is a magician who needs all the savvy and brilliance of a wizard to untangle this puzzle. 

From Robert's list on books where history meets mystery.

You can be gaslit in a variety of ways, but this one steals the show…
