Louise Welsh

Delighted when his agent books him for a series of Berlin cabaret appearances, mentalist and conjurer William Wilson soon finds himself in over his head thanks to some dangerous after-hours work and dark secrets from his past. By the author of The Cutting Room. Reader's Guide available. Reprint.

The Bullet Trick

When conjurer William Wilson gets booked for a string of cabaret gigs in Berlin, he's hoping his luck's on the turn - there were certain spectators from his last show who he'd rather forget. But secrets have a habit of catching up with him, and the line between what's an act and what's real starts to blur.

I had never heard of Louise Welsh or The Cutting Room before reading this book and I can't say I was terribly impressed. Actually, I struggled throughout the book and almost gave up on it. The main problem for me was that I didn't like any of the characters and that I found the atmosphere of the book simply too depressing. The book isn't badly written but I can't say I enjoyed it.

James Haliburton

A disappointing read - characters were weak; where they should have been symathetic or at least intriguing, they were bland. Berlin, Glasgow and London as locations were wasted and if this was a psychological crime book where was the psychology or the suspense? It read like an attempt to attract a film deal.
