The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated The Magician's Lie in Books
Oct 5, 2020
They have been calling this "Water for Elephants meets The Night Circus." Since I've never read either of those books, I could enjoy it for what it is - historical fiction, woman's murder mystery with a touch of magical realism. You can read my review of this novel here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/03/10/illusions-and-elusions/
