Synopsis
Sharp, mainstream fantasy meets compelling thrills of investigative noir in this fantasy debut by rising star Sarah Gailey.
Ivy Gamble has never wanted to be magic. She is perfectly happy with her life—she has an almost-sustainable career as a private investigator, and an empty apartment, and a slight drinking problem. It's a great life and she doesn't wish she was like her estranged sister, the magically gifted professor Tabitha.
But when Ivy is hired to investigate the gruesome murder of a faculty member at Tabitha’s private academy, the stalwart detective starts to lose herself in the case, the life she could have had, and the answer to the mystery that seems just out of her reach.

Je cherchais une histoire qui mélangerait une enquête d'Agatha Christie et de la magie et c'est exactement ce que j'ai eu ! L'enquête est intéressante et les interrogatoires se lisent d'une traite. Même si ce n'était pas l'attrait principal pour moi, la réflexion autour de l'injustice du "don" magique était poignante et bien rendue.
