Off the Shelf -- Under Lock & Skeleton Key

Thanks to Netgalley and Minotaur Books for the opportunity to read and review this title.

This book was so much fun! Tempest is a fifth generation magician whose family is haunted by a curse. A tragedy during Tempest's Vegas show results in her returning home to Hidden Creek, where she is feeling sorry for herself, until the body of her former assistant turns up in the wall of a house Tempest's father is working on.

I love the characters in this book and their relationships, their connections. The inclusion of heritage resonates. The locked room mystery is intriguing. All in all, an engrossing, well-plotted novel.

This review is freely and honestly given.
