When the body of a girl is found, cut into three, Detective Inspector Edgar Stephens is reminded of a magic trick, the Zig Zag Girl. The inventor of the trick, Max Mephisto, is an old friend of Edgar's. They served together in the war as part of a shadowy unit called the Magic Men. Smoke and Mirrors: DI Edgar Stephens has plenty of leads to investigate. The missing girl, Annie, used to write plays and perform them with her friends. Does the clue lie in Annie's unfinished - and rather disturbing - last script? Or might it lie with the eccentric actor types who have assembled for the pantomime? The Blood Card: Elizabeth II's coronation is looming, but the murder of their wartime commander, Colonel Cartwright, spoils the happy mood for DI Edgar Stephens and magician Max Mephisto. The Vanishing Box: Christmas 1953. Max Mephisto and his daughter Ruby are headlining Brighton Hippodrome, an achievement only slightly marred by the less-than-savoury support act: a tableau show of naked 'living statues'. Now You See Them: Three young women have gone missing. A girl called Rhonda has vanished from her boarding school. Maybe she ran away, but there are disturbing similarities to the disappearance of two other young women - those too thought not to be suspicious. But where are they? The Midnight Hour: When theatrical impresario Bert Billington is found dead in his retirement home, no one suspects foul play. But when the postmortem reveals that he was poisoned, suspicion falls on his wife, eccentric ex-Music Hall star Verity Malone. Review: Never guessed who was the murderer - I am now on the 6th book and I have to say I have thoroughly enjoyed them. Usually I can pick our the murderer but due to the amount of 'misdirections' in each book, I've had to wait til near the end to find out who dunnit. Review: Great detective series with original backdrop - I stormed through Elly's Dr Ruth Galloway series and now embarked on this series. Set after the 2nd world war and very different writing. The murders are more clever and very different to Dr Ruth. Very enjoyable and love the detail esp about Astarte! Enjoyable detective series, very readable ## Features - The Brighton Mysteries Series Books 1 6 Collection Set by Elly Griffiths - Product type: ABIS BOOK - Language : English ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 19,653 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1,511 in Historical Thrillers (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 92 Reviews | ## Images ![The Brighton Mysteries Series Books 1 - 6 Collection Set by Elly Griffiths (Zig Zag Girl, Smoke and Mirrors, Blood Card, Vanishing Box, Now You See Them & Midnight Hour) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91pbhPKS8CL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Never guessed who was the murderer *by J***H on 14 July 2025* I am now on the 6th book and I have to say I have thoroughly enjoyed them.
