Jack Ramsden, Cabinetmaker for Stage Magicians, died whilst preparing his annual presentation for his wife's birthday. It was meant to be an ingenious demonstration of Magic and Illusion until it all went wrong. Jack was killed by a shot from a rifle on a stand. The puzzle was - he was alone in a locked room. Accident or suicide? Fourteen years later a cryptic letter from Laura, the daughter of the dead man, urges Giles Dawson, a historian of Magic and the Great Illusionists, to return to the family home in Scotland where he'd spent much of his boyhood, to help prove her father's death was Murder. The attempt to solve the Locked Room Mystery puts Giles in Danger with Fear and Dread constant companions. Will a death-defying Houdini-type illusion in the United States, just months before Jack's death, explain "how a bottle-opener can open more than bottles"? Can an introduction to a bronze statue open his mind on the truth before death has again taken a cold hand in the proceedings?

The premise might be interesting but the execution was appalling. Poorly constructed and introduced characters, the most dreadful overuse of exclamation marks (seriously!!!, really!!!) and poorly constructed sentences. These problems distracted me from the story so much I can only assume this is a self-published author, because no self-respecting editor would let this manuscript be published in this form. Gave up after three chapters and deleted it. Do yourself a favour and avoid. Thankfully it was cheap.Product details

The Statue of Three Lies David Cargill 9781445214689 Books Reviews
I had this book recommended by a friend -a good friend. Once I started reading it I found I could not put it down. In fact I became so engrossed in it that I forgot my household chores! It reminded me of some of Agatha Christie's works where you don't know who the murderer is till very near the end. The plot is really well thought out, intriguing and grasps your attention immediately. I highly recommend it myself to anyone interested in mystery stories.
