In heroine Tempest Raj, modern-day queen of the locked room mystery Gigi Pandian has created a superb homage to the greats of traditional detective fiction.
Secret Staircase Construction is underneath attack, and Tempest Raj feels helpless. After former purchaser Julian Rhodes attempted to kill his wife, he blamed her “coincidence” on the home protection agency’s craftsmanship. Now the own family enterprise—regarded for bringing magic into homes via hidden doorways, floating staircases, and architectural puzzle partitions—is at a breaking point. No amount of Scottish and Indian food from her grandfather can distract Tempest from the they’re being framed.
When Tempest gets an urgent midnight smartphone call from Julian, she decides to fulfill him on the ancient Whispering Creek Theater—simplest to locate his lifeless body, a sword through his chest. After a blade appears from thin air to assert some other sufferer, Tempest is positive they’re dealing with a booby trap… something Secret Staircase Construction could without problems construct. Tempest refuses to look ahead to the investigation to turn to her or her cherished ones. She knows the pieces of the puzzle are proper in front of her, she just has to position them collectively efficiently earlier than extra disaster moves.
Multiple award-winning creator Gigi Pandian and her sleuth Tempest Raj return in A Midnight Puzzle, where an antique theater well-knownshows a deadly booby entice, secrets, and one puzzle of a thriller.
