The Magicians

Reality TV? Sounds like a piece of cake to Max-a guilty pleasure for viewers and a windfall to producers. What can be difficult about reality TV? But transported from the eerie confines of a seemingly haunted house in Los Angeles to the sun-drenched, volcanic beaches of Hawaii, Margot and Max discover that the images manipulated for television reality shows are no more real-and can be much more deadly- than the stories she and Max create for feature films.An early reader says: Kit Sloane's latest Margot O'Banion/Max Skull mystery showcases the author's considerable storytelling skills.
