An interesting enough mystery with some magical elements that made it a bit different. The protagonist is a former magician turned FBI agent which is not something I've come across before.

Unfortunately, the protagonist has little in the way of personality. Despite being an FBI agent, there were some bizarrely basic things she didn't know, especially regarding technology. Uh, excuse me?

Also, love (as in hate) that the two female FBI agents had no idea about the inane pop culture conspiracy that Paul McCartney had died in the 60s, but the one dude totally knows about it. What human with access to the internet would not know this?

Then the protagonist, despite years of experience, ties the wrong knot and drops her standard issue phone in a cave. She sounds like the kind of FBI agent a writer create with no knowledge of how law enforcement works.

But worse is that the writer writes his protagonist like what he thinks a woman would be like. So she's clumsy, but super attractive. She cries easily about her job. She can't keep a stable relationship because how can a woman possibly be good at her job and have a life? And she's already worrying that she's missed the boat for having children. How old is she? 30! Are you kidding me??

There were also some weird discussions about police violence which were dangerously close to problematic. What was the point of that?

I like a good mystery as much as anyone else but I'm not going to be reading more of this series.
