Murder by Magic: A 1930s Murder Mystery

Paul Tomlinson was born in Nottingham in 1966 and has lived in Nottinghamshire for most of his life. He is the author of a science fiction novel; a series of 1930s murder mystery novels featuring a retired magician; a series of fantasy novels set in the world of Thurlambria; and a contemporary crime novel. That’s probably too many genres for one author, but all the books do share things in common: they’re humorous, in a macabre sort of way, and they feature quirky and grotesque characters, some of whom are gay.
