Soneela Nankani returns to narrate the second installment of the Secret Staircase series. Secret Staircase Construction has completed their first job. Their client is eager to celebrate by hosting a mock séance to expunge all remnants of her ex-husband from her new life. All is going well until his dead body crashes the party. Tempest Raj needs to solve the murder to exonerate her grandfather, who has been arrested for it. Nankani has a quirky cast of characters to portray. She makes good use of subtle accents for Tempest's Indian grandfather and the Japanese mother of a Californian client who is bold and brash. Familiarity with the series is not required--but may be fun. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine

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.
One murder. Four impossibilities. A fake séance hides a very real crime.
A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.
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. It's all lighthearted fun until Corbin's dead body crashes the party.
The only possible suspects are the eight people around the séance table-a circle of clasped hands that wasn't broken. Suspicion quickly falls on Grandpa Ash, the only one with actual blood on him. To prove her beloved grandfather's innocence, Tempest must figure out what really happened-and how-or Ash will be cooking his delectable Indian and Scottish creations nevermore.
