It's all an illusion

A Reasonable Doubt, A Robin Lockwood Novel
by Phillip Margolin; 2020; $27.99; 292 pages; Minotaur Books, New York, NY; 978-1-250-11754-0; checked out from Multnomah County Library, St. Johns; 6/30/2020-7/1/2020

Just a quibble, Phillip Margolin, the morgue isn't in that building any more.  It's a dermatology clinic now.  
I was introduced to Robin Lockwood in The Perfect Alibi she is still bad ass, but now we know even more about her.  A magician performs an illusion at the Oregon Coast and disappears for several years.  There is plenty of riveting backstory before we get there.  When he reappears he hires Robin Lockwood and invites him to a return performance and his illusion goes deathly wrong.  Robin then has to figure out how the illusion was done and why it went wrong.

10/10
