The Floating Light Bulb (Eli Marks Mystery, #5)

by John Gaspard

MURDER AT THE MALL OF AMERICA

When a magician is murdered in the midst of his act at the Mall of America, Eli Marks is asked to step in and take over the daily shows--while also keeping his eyes and ears open for clues about this bizarre homicide.

As Eli combs the maze-like corridors beneath the Mall of America's massive amusement park looking for leads, he also struggles to learn and perform an entirely new magic act. Meanwhile, the long-time watering hole for Uncle Harry and his Mystics pals is closing. So in addition to the murder investigation and the new act, Eli must help the grumpy (and picky) seniors find a suitable new hang out.

Dang it! I just don’t think John Gaspard can write a bad Eli Marks book. Thought book 4 was the best in the series. Now, I’m torn. Book 5 was amazing with probably one of the BEST murders I’ve ever read in a mystery in it. The bad news is, I’ve got not more Eli Marks to read until he writes book 6, I guess. Get to writing, Gaspard! We’re a waiting!

Edit: Oh wow! Totally forgot about The Zombie Ball (Book 6). Woo hoo! Off the read more Eli Marks!
