Critical Praise

“THE MAGICIAN'S LIE is a rich tale of heart-stopping plot turns, glittering prose, and a cast of complex, compelling characters. Reader beware: those who enter Macallister's delicious world of magic and mystery won't wish to leave!
    --- Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author of THE TRAITOR'S WIFE

“…a captivating world of enchantment and mystery that readers will be loath to leave. Fans of Sara Gruen’s WATER FOR ELEPHANTS may also enjoy this title as the exotic settings (circus, magic show) are more of a backdrop for a larger story in both cases than an integral part of the plot.”
    --- Library Journal

“In THE MAGICIAN'S LIE, Greer Macallister has created a rich tapestry of mystery, magic, and lost love. The novel drew me in with its lush details and edge-of-your-seat plot.”
    --- Margaret Dilloway, author of HOW TO BE AN AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE and THE CARE AND HANDLING OF ROSES WITH THORNS

“Greer Macallister handles the reader with the command and brilliance of a world class ringmaster. THE MAGICIAN'S LIE is a mesmerizing novel of illusion, secrets, and suspense. Bravo!

"A little taste of The Night Circus, and little salt of WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, THE MAGICIAN'S LIE  by Greer McCallister is a wonderful combination of magic, vaudeville and the drama of the secret life of Arden.”
    --- Annie Philbrick, Bank Square Books (Mystic, CT)

“Twisted together with magic, a drenching touch of evil, betrayal, love, and wonderful storytelling will make this a tale you won't soon forget. Is her story real, or a magician’s lie?”
    --- Becky Milner, Vintage Books (Vancouver, WA)
