A monthly discussion on crime novels featuring amateur sleuths, quirky characters and homey communities. This month's novel is Under Lock & Skeleton Key by Gigi Pandian. After a disastrous accident derails magician Tempest Raj’s career, she heads back to her childhood home in California to comfort herself with her grandfather’s Indian home-cooked meals. Though she resists, every day brings her closer to the inevitable: working for her father’s construction company. When Tempest visits her dad’s latest renovation project, her former stage double is discovered dead inside a wall that’s supposedly been sealed for more than a century. Fearing she was the intended victim, it’s up to Tempest to solve this seemingly impossible crime.
