Allyson M W Dyar reviewed The Ambitious Card by John Gaspard
Review of 'The Ambitious Card' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Magician Eli Marks is hired as, what he wants to call himself, a skeptic while the TV show wants to call him a debunker of the mystic arts.
If he doesn't have enough problems, the mystic whom he "debunks" on TV comes up dead with the playing card the King of Diamonds. Other mystics and King of Diamonds playing cards show up, making Eli a prime suspect especially as his ex-wife is the Assistant District Attorney.
I always like to try and figure out who the culprit is and usually I don't. But this time, I was totally blind-sided by the identity as this character wasn't even on my radar.
This is a highly witty and well-written mystery. I've already read the second book and plan to make my way through the series.
