The final book in the New York Timesโbestselling series is โa wacky, waggish whodunit,โ as the Palm Beach PI investigates a dead end in a maze (Publishers Weekly).
The night Palm Beach society has been eagerly awaiting has finally arrived. Matthew Hayes, once the human cannonball in a traveling carnival and now a retired millionaire, is unveiling his Amazinโ Maze, styled after the historic hedge maze at Englandโs Hampton Court Palace. But even this wonder is upstaged by Hayesโs wifeโwhen sheโs found dead in the center of the labyrinth.ย Marvelous Marlena Marvel, a sideshow wonder of amazing pulchritude, was a devotee of the black arts. But the motive for her murder is as murky as her mystical talents . . . especially when Archy McNally uncovers a link to another homicide. Itโs a crime scene straight out of Barnum & Bailey as McNally employs his own sleight-of-hand to catch a killer about to pull off the greatest vanishing act of all.ย
