Smoke and Mirrors (A Miss Barnum Mystery) is filled with adventure in New York City 1842. Evie Barnum is the sister to Phineas T. Barnum and helps run his museum of exhibits unusual in nature. Through the entire story a close bond is evident between Evie and Phin. When an old friend appears to elicit aid from Evie; she shuns him only to feel guilt later when he is murdered! Events unfold as Miss Barnum uses her intellect to track down his murderer only to find herself in mortal danger. Her trail leads her into the seedier side of the city and the encounter of numerous colorful characters. Will not say that this ends with a cliffhanger but enough loose ends are left to crave another installment for a tidy conclusion. Loved the title of Smoke covering the present while mirrors reflecting the past.

Introducing museum curator and amateur sleuth Miss Evie Barnum in the first of a deliciously quirky new historical mystery series. Evie Barnum is in charge of her brother's museum, a place teeming with scientific specimens and "human prodigies" including a bearded woman and the lizard man. In this weird and whacky workplace, Evie hopes she can bury her secrets. But when an old friend shows up and begs for her help, she does all she can to stay away. The next time she sees him, he is dead in front of the exhibit of the Feejee Mermaid. Suspicion for the murder falls on Jeffrey, known as the Lizard Man, but Evie knows it isn't possible. When Jeffrey also goes missing, Evie becomes determined to solve the mystery of her friend's murder, even if it brings her face to face with her past...

I enjoyed this mystery, which started slowly, but did increase in pace. I felt it was a good solid start to the series, introducing us to some decent characters which hopefully will appear in future books.
