"I like it. The title doesn't make it clear that it is a magic/detective story. I would definitely give this a read. I would compare it to "Carpe Demon" by Julie Kenner which I loved.""This will be a best seller!!! Intriguing!""Brilliant! Nice balance between the hard-boiled banter and the satire. It moves along at a good clip."It was a dark and stormy night in The City and a hard-nosed gumshoe who wanted nothing to do with the unbalancing, unpredictable ways of magic found himself drawn ever further along strange paths. Babes, bullets, murder and mayhem were all part of the usual mix for Brick Stone as he worked to unravel the tangle of lies and mysteries brought to him by one client after another. That was all he wanted. As far as Brick was concerned, all magic ever did was make cases more complicated and make it take longer for him to figure out who he needed to shoot."I loved The Official Private Eye Handbook. I enjoyed how well you managed to invoke a sense of realism in a story so fantastic as well as your sense of humor. At points when the tension mounts, the humor tends to sneak up on you in an almost Britishly dry sort of way. Two thumbs up.'"I look forward to rereading it and anything else you may put out."
