Just as things seem to be at their worst our intrepid magician is offered a job. It’s not exactly an on the level type of employment but given the times and the state of his finances he really doesn’t hesitate too much in accepting the position. He gets it thanks to his brother in law who is somewhat connected to city hall which leads to the secondary plot line which just really never made any sense to me at all. It involves the real life attempted assassination of Franklin Roosevelt. The shooter ended up wounding and ultimately killing the mayor of Chicago. Other than providing a bit of distraction from the main story I really didn’t understand why it was part of the book. Maybe I missed something?
The book was different, it was out of my usual reading box. It does have a bit of romance, a touch of intrigue yet surprisingly very little magic.½
