The Conjurer's Wife is a mysterious little story set in nineteenth-century Venice. Olivia is the wife and assistant of Oscar Van Hoff, a renowned magician known for his amazing illusions. No one knows Oscar's secret, not even Olivia. She has amnesia from an accident she had on their wedding night and can't remember her life from before Oscar. She has started to rebel against Oscar in little ways, standing a few inches away form her mark on stage or going off script in their performance, but her rebellion ultimately leads to her uncovering a devastating secret.

I did like this little story, but it felt a little bit flat. There wasn't really a whole lot of the setting as it was mostly in the Van Hoff's house or in the theaters where they did their performances. Since the story was mainly focused on the Van Hoffs it would have been nice if there was more buildup to their characters, but obviously the page count was limited. The twist was predictable, but I still found it fun. This would be a quick read for people who are interested in magicians or illusionists.
