Product Description
Someone's going on a killing spree. Bodies are turning up all over the place with cryptic calling cards, hinting at more carnage to come. Lawless and Tilley know there's a pattern, they've just got to fit the pieces together. But sometimes it's very hard to see what's staring you in the face.

Malcolm Rose is an awesome writer
22 July 2003
Format:Paperback
This book was excellent! Rose has a wide knowledge of police and detective procedures and uses them accordingly. He writes in a wonderful style that makes the reader feel very involved while also making you feel glad you're safe at home! This novel had me gripped and i couldn't put it down until i finished, not even for food! It was brilliant and i'd recommend it to anyone who likes a good crime novel, it's as good as they come, in fact, it's better!! :)
One of the best young adult detective novels there is...
22 April 2001
Format:Paperback
"Magic Eye" is the third book in Malcolm Rose's fantastic Lawless and Tilley series and probably the best. Brett Lawless and Clare Tilley are the most successful detective partnership in the South Yorkshire police force despite the differences in the way they go about solving crimes. Brett is a chemistry graduate, cool, calm and logical, whereas Clare is far more of a `people person', sceptical of evidence gathered by scientific means.
Their third case is a high-profile murder investigation. "You will be getting to know me" is the cryptic message left at a murder scene, and sure enough the bodies soon begin piling up, each accompanied by a similarly sinister note. Worse still, the murderer has developed a grudge against Brett himself and begins murdering simply to taunt him. Lawless and Tilley know time is running out, yet some how the serial killer manages to stay one step ahead of them. They know the answer is staring them in the face, but like a magic eye puzzle, it is impossible to see. Soon the detectives realize that this killer is dangerously intelligent: he knows the traits the police are looking for in his victims, gender, skin colour, age, etc and manages to disprove each theory as soon as it is constructed. But how does he manage this, and what are the reasons behind his crimes?
Lawless and Tilley #3: Magic Eye is probably the best of all seven books. The story is fast paced and will have you on the edge of your seat throughout and the ending is totally unpredictable and keeps you guessing until the last minute. There is also some good character development, as Brett's history is filled in, and he and Clare begin to get closer. Overall, this is one of the best young adult detective novels I've ever read and I would recommend it to any teenage readers and crime novel fans.
