The raven thief: a secret staircase novel - gigi pandian

Super-fun.

- The Boston Globe One murder.

Four impossibilities.

A fake séance hides a very real crime.

Secret Staircase Construction just finished their first project with Tempest Raj officially a part of the team--a classic mystery novel-themed home interior.

Their client is now ready to celebrate her new life without her cheating ex-husband, famous mystery author Corbin Colt.

First up, a party, and Tempest and Grandpa Ash are invited to the exclusive mock séance to remove any trace of Corbin from the property--for good.

Its all lighthearted fun until Corbins dead body crashes the party.

The only possible suspects are the eight people around the séance table--a circle of clasped hands that wasnt broken.

Suspicion quickly falls on Grandpa Ash, the only one with actual blood on him.

To prove her beloved grandfathers innocence, Tempest must figure out what really happened--and how --or Ash will be cooking his delectable Indian and Scottish creations nevermore.

Multiple award-winning author Gigi Pandian is one of the best locked room mystery writers working today.

Her newest heroine, Tempest Raj, returns in The Raven Thief , where sliding bookcases, trick tables, and hidden reading nooks hide something much more sinister than the Secret Staircase Construction crew ever imagined.
