Enchanter

By David M. Dibble

     Enchanter contains a romance within a romance. First is the main story of the American actor, Daniel Graham, who has been cast in an Italian movie with Deidre Carson, who makes sure that Daniel is aware of his place. The other romance is the one that is in the movie in which Deidre and Daniel are the characters. Behind the movie, there seems to be some mystery when things start happening, especially after Daniel finds a human skull outside the set of the movie. There is also a mystery behind the Count Cagliostro, the elusive producer and script of the movie.

     Mr. Dibble creates likable characters in Daniel and Deidre. Their romance is a little unbelievable, as one minute they like each other, the next minute Deidre wants nothing to do with Daniel. The setting of the little Italian town is okay, but it should be recognized that the plot could have taken anywhere where there is a historical nature. The mystery behind Count Cagliostro is interesting and keeps the reader interested in Enchanter. This reader does not feel that Enchanter is as good as Mr. Dibble's first book, Typhoon Rising.
