Relation To Books Magic Lantern (Rogue Angel #36)
In late 1700s Paris, a young but promising illusionist dabbles in the arcane art of phantasmagoria. But at his moment of greatest triumph--unveiling a magical lantern said to open a door to the Chinese spirit world--he is violently struck down by a vengeful phantom....On assignment in London, archaeologist Annja Creed is hunting down a man who claims to have discovered the Jekyll and Hyde potion. On the trail of one curiosity, Annja finds herself pulled toward another mystery...the origin of a strange, old-fashioned projector once used by eighteenth-century illusionists. As Annja delves into its rich history, a dark past begins to emerge. And someone wants to harness the power of this cursed artifact...risking everything for the treasures it promises.
But Annja has a little magic trick of her own. One that she wields with deadly accuracy....

*Genre* Fantasy, Adventure, Thriller*Rating* 4.0*First thoughts*Magic Lantern was a surprising nice change of pace after being quite disappointed with the past few installments. Yes, I have actually read 36 books in one series and there are plenty more that follow Magic Lantern. Yes, I continue to enjoy the fact that Annja Creed is something of a serious badass who carries Joan of Arc's Broadsword while looking to protect the innocent and just can't help but to get involved in situations where
3.5 stars.What I really liked is Fiona, the experienced female fixer Roux referred Annja to assist her in recovering her friend from the bad guys. I can just see Helen Mirren in this role. What doesn't make sense is how she lost touch of Roux when she's got that amazing network of contacts and Ollie, her boy genius assistant.Another action-packed instalment.

The Magic Lantern actually has two stories in it, but one basically gets dropped before fifty pages in, then pulls it back in right at the end.Annja Creed is in London to film segments on a serial killer claiming to be Mr. Hyde, having recreated the Jekyll formula. He's killed several women by stamping them to death. When Annja goes to get some information from a literature professor about the Hyde legend, she ends up getting pulled into the story of a chinese lantern that may be cursed. The
