If David Copperfield and Sherlock Holmes had a child, it would be Eli Marks.-The Magic Word Podcast

This is an instant classic, in a league with Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and Arthur Conan Doyle.-Rosebud Book Reviews

It's full of magic, mystery, danger and misdirection, as a good magic trick should be. I love this cozy mystery series, a thoroughly delightful read.-Sweet Mystery Books

Before I had even finished the first chapter I had fallen in love with Eli. He is intelligent, sensitive, witty and, suddenly, the main suspect in a series of murders...well written, fast-paced and exciting.-The Frugal Mennonite

This story is very well written and fun to read. I would definitely read another Eli Marks Mystery _A Simple Taste for Reading

Hands-down the funniest thing I have read in a long time, expertly paced and hilariously detailed.-Seattle Book Mama

In real life, John Gaspard is not a magician, but he has directed six low-budget features that cost very little and made even less-that's no small trick. He's also written multiple books on the subject of low-budget filmmaking. Ironically, they've made more than the films. He's also written for TV and the stage. John lives in Minnesota and shares his home with his lovely wife, several dogs, a few cats, and a handful of pet allergies.
