Description

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. 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?

'Fast-moving and entertaining . . . Stupendously engaging' - Ben Aaronovitch, author of the Rivers of London series

'I highly recommend The Library of the Dead' - Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse series

Tendai's alternative Edinburgh becomes more real and more exciting with every book. An artful combination of magic, history and imagination wrapped up in an engaging story -- Ben Aaronovitch, bestselling author of Rivers of London on Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments
The Library of the Dead's alluring, shadowy Edinburgh with its hints of sophisticated academic magic will draw you in, but it's Ropa - a hard knocks ghostalker on her paranormal grind to pay the rent - who grabs hold. The moment you meet her, you'll follow wherever she goes -- Olivie Blake, author of The Atlas Six on The Library of the Dead
An absolute delight . . . kept me totally hooked -- Genevieve Cogman, author of the Invisible Library series on The Library of the Dead

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
