When the old vaudeville magicians drag him to the Pageant of Peacocks starring sexy Mara the Magnificent, it's love at first sight. The romance blossoms, but when Torch returns from a meeting in LA, Mara seems cold and distant. Torch turns to his mother, the advice columnist, for a helping hand.Godiva agrees to check things out during her upcoming trip to Vegas, when she joins her twin sister, Goldie, at a big antique expo. Flossie and Sterling tag along for a second trip to sin city. The family gets a shock while attending Mara's show, where a stagehand dies during the performance. Police call it accidental, but Mara is convinced its murder. Torch told her about his family's uncanny ability to solve mysteries, so she begs them to investigate the death of her friend. They start to poke around in their clever but kooky fashion and uncover an even bigger mystery.This time Flossie and Sterling take the lead, and when they uncover a diabolical plot they come close to doing a disappearing act of their own! Twists, turns, murder and mayhem. Just when you think you've solved it, something else happens.Members Reviews:Murder, She Wrote meets The Borscht BeltGood news, bad news.The Good: This is a fun story, the Silver Family is almost impossible to dislike. Grandma Flossie and Great Uncle Sterling - two thirds of the once famous magic act The Scintillating Silvers - have that old fashioned vaudeville sensibility that makes for great screwball comedy. Twin sisters Goldie and Godiva are flamboyant and quirky in their own right - which makes it all the better when they try to be "the voice of reason" to the elders.Bad News: The mystery aspect of this story isn't very good. To put it in the vernacular of The Scintillating Silvers, "It's a flop." Not very original and really not even all that interesting. Thankfully, it's a relatively small part of the overall story - mostly an excuse to have the family descend on Vegas and go through their shtick.If you're in the mood for a good mystery this isn't it, but if you want to read a fun story about a quirky, oddball family of amateur sleuths running around Las Vegas then you might enjoy this book.This book is suitable for all readers. There is no graphic violence, explicit sex or strong language.Vanishing Act in VegasI thought this book looked like I fun read when I wanted to win this book in the giveaway. This book did not let me down. I enjoyed the characters and had a great time reading this book. I would read more books in this series. * I received this book from a LibraryThing giveaway in exchange for an honest review*Laughs and MurderI love the Silver sisters and their Jewish mother, Flossie and Uncle Sterling. A wackier group of characters you will not find elsewhere. This time the sisters are off to Las Vegas to commenorate Godiva's late husband's wheel of fortune spin that made him into a multimillionaire and left Godiva a very rich widow. Of course, with retired magicians Flossie and Sterling along, and Godiva's son, Torch, now living in Vegas, the antics are plentiful and the twists and turns of the story are many. Torch has a new love in his life, who suddenly disappears.
