Ghostalker and magician-in-training Ropa Moyo is stoked to be attending an important magical convention. But her sleuthing skills will be put to the test when a magician is murdered. Suddenly, everyone is a suspect – and someone has betrayed their group . . .

Ghostalker Ropa Moyo and her rag-tag team of magicians are back in The Mystery at Dunvegan Castle, the third book in the spellbinding Edinburgh Nights series by T. L. Huchu.

’Alluring, shadowy Edinburgh with its hints of sophisticated academic magic will draw you in' – Olivie Blake, author on The Atlas Six on The Library of the Dead


She came for magic. She stayed to solve a murder . . .

Ropa Moyo is no stranger to magic or mysteries. After all, she's a ghostalker – one who can talk to the dead. But she’s still stuck in an irksomely unpaid internship. So she’s thrilled to attend a magical convention at Dunvegan Castle, on the Isle of Skye, where she’ll rub elbows with eminent magicians.

For Ropa, it’s the perfect opportunity to finally prove her worth. Then a librarian is murdered and a precious scroll stolen. Suddenly, every magician is a suspect, and Ropa and her allies investigate. Trapped in a castle, with suspicions mounting, Ropa must contend with corruption, skulduggery and power plays. Time to ask for a raise?

An absolute delight . . . kept me totally hooked -- Genevieve Cogman, author of the Invisible Library series on The Library of the Dead
