Why read it?

2 authors picked Bluff as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved the intrigue and the sleight-of-hand narrative quality of this character-driven mystery.

The magic interests of the main character drew me into a suspenseful reading experience. Kardos creates a kind of magic with twists and turns in plot and style. This character is a magician who needs all the savvy and brilliance of a wizard to untangle this puzzle. 

From Robert's list on books where history meets mystery.

Like me, you won’t see it coming. I read a lot, and yet I couldn’t imagine this.

Natalie, once a budding card trick magician, is now history. One mistake is all it took—she trusted an older performer who stole her tricks and then discredited her. Her reputation as a magician is in tatters, and she has no way to support herself. So, she eagerly accepts when a magazine asks her to research and write an article on card cheating, and she travels to Atlantic City.

You can be gaslit in a variety of ways, but this one steals the show…
