Thank you Martyn Bedford for a fantastic book. The Houdini Girl is definitely my book of the Year. It is a thriller with a murder, or at least an assisted involuntary death, it is also a love story in the Shakespearean mould with double identities confounding the course of love.

Martyn Bedford - Writer. In this luminous collection Martyn Bedford offers us beautifully variegated and nuanced insights not only into modern society, but also into an impressive array of richly drawn characters caught up in the messy business of life. Haunting and intimate portraits of vividly different lives that get under your skin and stay there.

Bedford explores the difference between illusion and deceit in a witty, moving and tense novel that gathers pace like the train that the eponymous character leaves with such tragic affect. As the main character (Red, the master prestidigitator) explains, there is a difference between magic and lies which is defined by the relationship between the protagonists. A magician and his audience enter into a conspiracy to sustain an illusion, the magician tricks his audience, who nevertheless know that they are being tricked, therefore there is no lie.
