5.0 out of 5 stars GRIPPING HISTORICAL MYSTERY, 8 April 1999
By A Customer
Satterthwait does it again with this wonderful blend of historical characters and his own inimitable fictional creations. Step back in time to 1923 Paris as you meet such luminaries as Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, and Erik Satie. Satterthwait's wit and complex plotting will keep the most intelligent reader smiling and guessing until the very end. A taut, complelling page turner. Don't miss!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointed, 18 Nov 1998
By A Customer
First off, Escapade, the author's first book with characters Phil and Jane, is one of my favorite books of all time. So I looked forward to the follow-up. Sadly, I was very disappointed. The author has chosen to have Jane's entire interaction in the book take place through letters to her friend Evy. While it might be a clever idea, it leaves the reader with zero emotional involvement. We want to see Phil and Jane interact together! That never even happens until the end of the book (literally). Too little, way too late. And the loss of Houdini is a huge one. While Phil's new sidesick Henry may be slighly amusing, the character doesn't come close to the chemistry between Phil and Houdini. (At one point Phil wires Houdini, which I hoped would somehow involve him in the story, but Houdini never answers the wire! Did the author forget about this plot point??) Anyway, advice to the author -- next time forget Jane's clever letters. Put Phil, Jane and Houdini back together! I'll buy that one!
