The Murder Wheel:by Tom Mead

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @Tommeadauther and Ariesfiction for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Murder Wheel is book 2 in the series. You can t=read it as a standalone as I did. This is a magic/ crime genre which will grip you. The story is set in London in 1938 and is about Edmund Ibbs who is a lawyer and has a new client who accused of shoot her husband. There is some great twists and turns that flow through the book. The story is at fast pace which will keep you glued to the book. I liked the magic element and the Illusionist Joseph is a great character. If you like crime and Magicians, this book is for you. The Murder Wheel is written well and is entertaining read. 4 stars. Out on the 10th of October to buy. Blurb Illusionist turned sleuth Joseph Spector investigates a sinister conundrum at a 1930s theatre in this thrilling mystery audiobook from Tom Mead, author of Death and the Conjuror, one of Publishers Weekly's Mysteries of the Year 2022. When Edmund Ibbs, a young lawyer, defends a woman accused of shooting her husband dead, he finds himself drawn into a web of conspiracy and murder. Soon, Ibbs himself is accused of complicity in a killing, when a corpse unexpectedly appears as part of a magic act in a crowded theatre. Also present is Joseph Spector, former illusionist turned highly respected amateur sleuth. Spector begins to investigate the mystery, but when a second body is discovered later the same night, all the evidence points to Ibbs being guilty. With a host of hangers-on having something to hide, can Spector find the true culprit, or will he and Inspector Flint of Scotland Yard conclude that Ibbs is guilty after all? Tom Mead's acclaimed short stories have appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and Lighthouse among others. Several of his pieces have also been anthologized, including 'Heatwave' in The Best Crime Stories of the Year 2021 (ed. Lee Child). He lives in Derbyshire, England. Death and the Conjuror was his debut novel. Follow Tom at tommeadauthor.com, @TomMeadAuthor and facebook.com/tommeadauthor --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I love the front cover its very eye catching witch would make me pick up to read the blurb. I like the title to. I found hanging out very instresting read its very true how people lost on technology and how we lost the connections in the real world since covid. I found it difficult and awakard going to social situations not knowing what to say or woundering if people want me there all because we been locjed away. I like how Sheila highlights her importance for us to hang out togther and how socialsing has changed through the years. Hanging out is written well and easy to get into and the topic is well researched. 4 stars. The digital age has consumed us. Every time we unlock our phones, we disengage from our social interactions. As a digital society we have fractured our real-life relationships, splintered our attention and created social voids. We overcompensate f
