Friday Freebie: Now You See Them by Elly Griffiths


Congratulations to JT O’Neill, winner of last week’s Friday Freebie contest: We Love Anderson Cooper by R. L. Maizes.

This week’s giveaway is for Now You See Them by Elly Griffiths. It’s the fifth book in the Magic Men series, a mystery that follows detective Edgar Stephens and the magician Max Mephisto as they investigate a string of presumed kidnappings in the swinging 1960s. Keep scrolling for more information on the book and how to enter the contest...


The new decade is going well for Edgar Stephens and his good friend the magician Max Mephisto. Edgar is happily married, with children, and promoted to Superintendent. Max has found fame and stardom in America, though is now back in England for a funeral, and a prospective movie job. Edgar’s new wife, though—former detective Emma—is restless and frustrated at home, knowing she was the best detective on the team. But when an investigation into a string of disappearing girls begins, Emma sees her chance to get back in the action. She begins her own hunt, determined to prove, once and for all that she’s better than the boys. Though she’s not the only one working toward that goal—there’s a new woman on the force, and she’s determined to make detective. When two more girls go missing, both with ties to the group, the stakes climb ever higher, and Max finds himself drawn into his own search. Who will find the girls first? And will they get there in time?
