Mrs. Houdini by Victoria Kelly
Posted: 11 Feb 2017, 13:24
Bess Houdini was given a code by Harry while he was on his death bed. A code only she knew and kept from the public for many years after his death. It was a code that would show Bess he was trying to communicate to her from the other side, keeping his promise from the night they met that not even death could keep him away. Bess spends many years trying to find this code, only to discover there was a more urgent message he was trying to send her and it wasn't only the fact that he was never going to leave her side. Along the way of her search, Bess is led to a young man who is a photographer and she knows that he is part of the message Harry is trying to send to her, but in the end, was it worth it to find out a secret Harry kept hidden throughout their entire marriage?
What I Liked
-How Harry Houdini was written. As a fan of his work, it was nice to see a different side to him and his life with Bess.
What I Didn't Like
-It was hard to take to Bess, the main character. Seemed that she spent more time remembering her life with Harry than her searching for the code he was to have sent her from beyond the grave.
-Book was confusing with the constant flashbacks. Kelly should've stuck with either era, their marriage or after Harry's death. It was easy to get loss not knowing what time period Bess was in.
