Summary
"Nankani executes a lovely Scottish lilt and makes each voice easily distinguishable in conversation"—AudioFile on Under Lock and Skeleton Key
In heroine Tempest Raj, modern-day queen of the locked room mystery Gigi Pandian has created a brilliant homage to the greats of classic detective fiction.
Secret Staircase Construction is under attack, and Tempest Raj feels helpless. After former client Julian Rhodes tried to kill his wife, he blamed her "accident" on the home renovation company’s craftsmanship. Now the family business—known for bringing magic into homes through hidden doors, floating staircases, and architectural puzzle walls—is at a breaking point. No amount of Scottish and Indian meals from her grandfather can distract Tempest from the truth: they’re being framed.
When Tempest receives an urgent midnight phone call from Julian, she decides to meet him at the historic Whispering Creek Theater—only to find his dead body, a sword through his chest. After a blade appears from thin air to claim another victim, Tempest is certain they’re dealing with a booby trap… something Secret Staircase Construction could easily build. Tempest refuses to wait for the investigation to turn to her or her loved ones. She knows the pieces of the puzzle are right in front of her, she just has to put them together correctly before more disaster strikes.
Multiple award-winning author Gigi Pandian and her sleuth Tempest Raj return in A Midnight Puzzle, where an old theater reveals a deadly booby trap, secrets, and one puzzle of a mystery.

A Midnight Puzzle
A stunning experience at mystery, intrigue and murder, with twists, and turns, baffling scenes that make the story of the Raj family curse, a story of decades come to life, with more shocking moments than ever.
Tempest Raj, again proves that the scooby gang, and private investigator blackburn are together as a cohort can find the truth behind multiple crimes that detective blackburn couldn’t even discover.
Together with the Raj family and their friends they find themselves together in a strange world that has plagued their lives for generations and finally find the truth behind the family curse that killed so many innocent people who were murdered in horrid crimes of a masked mystery.
A truly magnificent story and remarkable story by the esteemed Gigi Pandian does it again, creating a wonderful book that will forever remain a legacy of hidden secrets and mysteries.
I just hope this isn’t the end of this series as its characters are truly incredible each in their own way.
Thank you for another great book, and true masterpiece of literature.
