A fantastical and mysterious magic show runs every night aboard this ship, with its entrancing masked leader Mephistopheles at its helm. Their week-long journey is not without excitement though. Either way Andge and I both give this book a 5 Drink Me Potions rating, and honestly if you were at all on the fence about this series, by now you should know that we both seriously enjoyed this journey and highly recommend it.Įscaping From Houdini revolves our favourite dynamic duo, Audrey Rose Wadsworth and Thomas Cresswell, as they embark on the RMS Etruria to America.

Honestly this was my favourite one so far! It’s a bit surprising that the third book in the series would be my favourite, but perhaps it’s that the characters have developed to such a point where I relate to them more now. But with clues to the next victim pointing to someone she loves, can Audrey Rose unravel the mystery before the killer’s horrifying finale? It’s up to Audrey Rose and Thomas to piece together the gruesome investigation as even more passengers die before reaching their destination. The disturbing influence of the Moonlight Carnival pervades the decks as the murders grow ever more freakish, with nowhere to escape except the unforgiving sea. Embarking on a week-long voyage across the Atlantic on the opulent RMS Etruria, they’re delighted to discover a traveling troupe of circus performers, fortune tellers, and a certain charismatic young escape artist entertaining the first-class passengers nightly.īut then, privileged young women begin to go missing without explanation, and a series of brutal slayings shocks the entire ship. Audrey Rose Wadsworth and her partner-in-crime-investigation, Thomas Cresswell, are en route to New York to help solve another blood-soaked mystery.
