Andrew Mayne's latest Jessica Blackwood novel has some new magic tricks of its own. In the NAME OF THE DEVIL, Mayne uses again his knowledge of magic to write an exceptional mystery about Jessica Blackwood a FBI agent who outwits her peers to solve crimes. With her family background as magicians she thinks outside the box to find answers, helping her to imagine how a crime was performed to look like something it's not and to guess what the criminal's next move will be. That makes his novels different than your average mystery writer!

Jessica Blackwood has to find out why a church blew up with a few selective of the town's citizens and who was behind it. This will be a start to the long list of bizarre, unexplainable happenings that seem to make less sense as Jessica investigates. With all the shenanigans of the Devil, this leads her to consider that it is much more than what someone wants everyone to believe. There is a person with a vengeance and it's up to her to find out whom that it is.

NAME OF THE DEVIL really has some great suspenseful parts. My favorites were within Jessica's travels to other parts of the world. You must read to see where that might be. The storyline is amazing and I love how Andrew Mayne would give us flashbacks of Jessica's childhood. These flashbacks played an important part of her solving her case like in the first Jessica Blackwood novel. NAME OF THE DEVIL is one novel you will not want to miss this summer!
