In the Amazing Harvey by Don Passman Harvey Kendall, an aspiring magician, is accused of a rape and murder he did not commit. The police have DNA evidence though so things look very, very bad for our hero. Harvey finds a lawyer in an old classmate who agrees to help him and begins poking around in the mystery. The solution to the crime is rather obvious and the author does a really awkward job of laying clues so that our hero can figure it out as well. However, the book on the whole is very sweet and has interesting characters and perhaps the solution is not obvious if you haven’t a biology/medicine background.Recommended for those who like a character driven mystery.
