Club Deception | Sarah Skilton
6 posts | 4 read | 12 to read
Claire Fredericksson is the beating heart of CLUB DECEPTION, LA's most exclusive magician's society. She's the Queen Bee of Magician WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends), and the genius behind her philandering husband Jonathan's award-winning magic show. Claire's life is upended by the arrival of two new women to the closed group of wives-Jessica, a young trophy wife with a secret, and Kaimi, an art expert looking for the long-lost Erdnase papers by posing as a girlfriend. When a magician rivalry erupts into murder, the women must uncover the truth and set things right for the men they love. With a cast of endurance experts, Vegas stage stars, and close-up card handlers, this novel weaves a tale of murder, fame, and many, many illusions.

Not for me; it's too gossipy and the characters are kind of mean.

An interesting connection between women‘s sufferage and the rise of “torture illusions” to female assistants in magic

Also is it just me or are magicians popping up everywhere lately in pop culture?

Got a little #bookmail today. Another recent GoodReads win. This book doesn't have a lot of activity here on Litsy, so I almost feel like I'll be going in blind on this one.

jpmcwisemorgan Oh I'm interested!!! 7y

Pickpick

I like this character-driven peek into a secret society for magicians. There are multiple POV so we hear from magicians, their wives, their interns, and outsiders. The magic tricks and lingo are fascinating and I love the characters.

This is a case where the synopsis doesn't seem to fully match the story. There is a mystery component here, but it isn't as prominent as the synopsis indicates; it factors into the story later than I think it should.
