As clues unfold, it becomes clear: The Magician Killer is back.

Assessment:
Plot/Idea: Wigginton's novel lays a strong case for the mystery/thriller genre's ability to captivate and entertain readers. She lays a solid foundation quickly that is then built upon piece by piece.
Prose: Wigginton's meticulous prose provides all of the essential details a reader needs to have to paint a clear image of each scene without being verbose or tangential.
Originality: The author manages to create a unique angle in the oversaturated mystery/thriller genre through her main character, Agent Samantha Sam Stevens as both a victim and a heroine.
Character/Execution: The characters in Wigginton's The Magician Killer are convincing in their roles and memorable. Readers will develop a strong connection to the lead character, Sam, through a well-detailed backstory into her trauma. Secondary characters provide depth to the story and leave their own lasting impressions.
