"Captivating." --Wall Street Journal "An absorbing read, the debut of another great series." --San Jose Mercury News "A labyrinthine plot, a splendid reveal, and superb evocation of the wafer-thin veneer of glamour at the bottom end of showbusiness . . . Thoroughly enjoyable." --GuardianBrighton, 1950. A girl is found cut in three, and Detective Inspector Edgar Stephens is convinced the killer is mimicking a famous magic trick--the Zig Zag Girl. The inventor of the trick, Max Mephisto, served with Edgar in a special ops troop called the Magic Men that used stage illusions to confound the enemy. Max still performs, touring with ventriloquists, sword-swallowers, and dancing girls. When Edgar asks for his help with the case, Max tells him to identify the victim quickly; it takes a special sidekick to do the Zig Zag Girl--words that haunt Max when he learns the dead girl is Ethel, one of his best assistants to date. Another death, another magic trick, and still no killer. But when Edgar receives a letter warning of another "trick" on the way--the Wolf Trap--he knows the Magic Men are in the killer's sights. "Enormously engaging . . . Griffiths's plot is satisfyingly serpentine." --Daily Mail "Readers will finish looking forward to the next trick up Griffiths's] sleeve." --Mystery Scene Elly Griffiths is the author of the Ruth Galloway and Magic Men mystery series. She is the recipient of the Mary Higgins Clark Award and her work has been praised as "gripping" (Louise Penny), "highly atmospheric" (New York Times Book Review), and "must-reads for fans of crime fiction" (Associated Press).

Epic. Works great.
Color: Black
Works great every day. Super powerful and smooth compared to my old battery powered one. The shaft is much thicker and is more securely positioned so I can't imagine it becoming tweaked off balance like my old one. And it comes with an extra mixer attachment! I imagine I've put that away for a long time, but we'll see. Easy to turn on and off with one hand, but I can imagine it being less easy than a simple push button for someone with decreased thumb dexterity or mobility. I do wish the lowest speed was slightly lower, but it hasn't caused any splashing or other detriment. The speed adjustment is very smooth and power is abundant. Love the stand, Usb c charge port is solid, battery life is excellent.

You want this one, for power and quality and saving on AA battery costs
Color: Black
Yes. You want this one, for power and quality and saving on AA battery costs — buy it now. Don’t waste any more time comparing products.
After hours, days, weeks, of researching and comparing, I ordered this one. I do not regret it. It is powerful. It was less than $25 when I bought it. It has a USB charger port and it feels solid in your hand. It has a turn-knob at the top to control the variable speed immersion blender aka milk frother aka wand frother. Charge battery fully for 2hrs before first use and then you’re all set. It works very well. It functioned as expected and then even better. Yes. It exceeded expectations. I hope it lasts a long time. It feels like it is very well made and high quality. Classiest and best wand frother I have ever owned. And I’ve owned over 3-4 in the past 10yrs.
I got this one at $25 instead of the highest-rated one for $9.99 because those require AA batteries and this frother however is USB-C rechargeable!
So in 1-2 years it will have paid for itself in battery costs alone.
But there’s no price I can put on how enjoyable it is to use this super powerful, super smooth, high quality, wand frother.

Quality Design
Color: Gray
Excellent frother/mixer
Pros:
- Quality feels premium.
- Plenty of power to mix even with a drink packed with ice and peanut butter. Basically a mini handheld mixer.
- Ease of use is great. I appreciated that this had a longer brother so I can mix drinks in taller cups. Also the grip is fantastic and it is easy very easy to change the speed with just one hand so you can hold the drink with the other.
Longevity - So far it's been holding up and hasn't needed a battery replacement.
Cons:
None so far.

Highly recommend!
Color: Gray
Love this frother!!! Purchased to replace an Aerolatte that stopped working after a reasonable period of use. Right out of the box, it was charged and ready to go. I’ve been using it daily for about 5 weeks on the same charge it had on arrival and it’s still going strong. Love the variable speed and easy to work with one hand. And this baby can froth! It froths far better than our old Aerolatte. Also love the rechargeable feature so no more AA batteries wasted. This handy kitchen tool makes my morning coffee a true highlight. Highly recommend the Maestri milk frother!

Best Frother Ever!
Color: Black
Great little frother and very powerful after just one charge. I haven’t charged it since the first day and it is still going strong after 3 weeks. I use it daily for coffee froth, but have used it for mixing other things as well. It works great on mixing drink powders into water and for making salad dressing from scratch. It’s one of the best things I’ve purchased on Amazon for kitchen tools. My old frother ate through batteries and was 1/10th as powerful. This one really is amazing. Great quality heavy duty but still small machine. Extra attachment heads are also a bonus.
