review 1: This was the third in the series and sadly for me it was a disappointment. After reading 'Dark Dreams' the 2nd book. I was very eager to read 'The Magician's Accomplice' It started off good at the shooting of the Denis Macek a starving student who schemes a means for a free breakfast at a swank 5 star hotel.I'm not sure when it actually went in a downward spiral but the whole escapade of Mataivona and the dead student Uncle a retired magician went from a bit corny to total stupid.There were sue high points the primary one being Colonel Trokan but the cast from Europool and most often other characters simply were a big downward from Genelin's previous twoI go for number four in the series 'Requiem for Gypsy' and hope Genelin doesn't disappoint
review 2: A terri... morefic detective/mystery story! Well conceived and written. It was my first experience with this author and I look forward to reading more of his books.His heroine is Slovakian police commander Jana Matinova. It starts with a mysterious killing: A professional hit man has gunned down a university student, who sneaked into the dining room of a swanky Bratislava hotel to get free food. Then later the same day, her friend and lover, a prosecutor investigating a corruption case, is killed in an explosion in his office.To prevent her from interfering in the investigation, her supervisor transfers Matinova to Europol headquarters in The Hague, where her predecessor as her country's representative has vanished. Of course, it does not stop her from investigating all three mysteries. And of course, they are all related.It is a roller coaster ride of intrigue and trying to figure out who is on her side and who is out to kill her. Highly recommended to lovers of detective fiction. less
