Review of "The Conjuror"

Our friend Ed from Bibliothecary had a review in the Philadelphia Inquirer yesterday of Cornelia Frances Biddle's new mystery The Conjuror. He concludes "Biddle ... successfully uses 19th-century Philadelphia, mining the landscape for the kinds of jewels that illuminate a good mystery, and shaping characters that ring true to the elements of their creation. The Conjurer is a worthy inclusion in the genre, and I hope there are many more Martha Beale mysteries to come." A good review, and once again Ed's managed to find another book for me to add to my reading list!
