8. The Angel Killer by Andrew Mayne. Mystery-Thriller.

May 4

A former professional magician joins the FBI and is assigned to a task force hunting a serial killer who stages "impossible crimes".

The agent uses her expertise in stage magic to unravel the killer's methods.

Extremely unlikely, but a fun battle of wits, with lots of interesting details about how stage magic works.

Very well-written, first in a series, contains some very gruesome content. I'm about two-thirds of the way through and am really enjoying it.
