Review of Antique Magic
Antique Magic is a Mystery Thriller by Eileen Harris. The book is developed gradually, with a lot of detail to provide a
sense of a complete world in the story. The characters are ones that the
reader will be able to identify with and understand. They are complete
personalities that presented unique traits. It almost makes you forget
for a moment that you’re reading a novel as you are thrust into these
carefully constructed interactions.
What I always appreciate in a book is when there are unanswered questions, things that stir up the reader’s thought and imagination. This is often very risky for the author as not all readers will enjoy this, but it’s something that I like because it’s reflective of the real world. In reality, when there are murders and mystery, questions aren’t always answered. When an author can capture that and still successfully mix reality with fantasy by adding magic, impossible situations, and excitement, it’s something that I really appreciate.
This book is perfect for a quiet night, preferably a cold and stormy one. While you could certainly take this to the beach with you, this is a book better enjoyed at home, curled up on the couch. Mystery lovers won’t be disappointed in this book.
