About this listen

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

Ghostalker Ropa Moyo and her rag-tag team of magicians are back in The Mystery at Dunvegan Castle, the third audiobook 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 of The Atlas Six on The Library of the Dead

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?

Praise for The Edinburgh Nights series:

’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

Critic reviews

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)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: this is THE series for everyone who loved Harry Potter as a kid and who has come to feel extremely icky about the entire franchise. This has everything HP is missing, all set it a world that's just as compelling as Hogwarts (to me, this dystopian near future Edinburgh/Scotland setting is even better but I'll be the first to admit that I'm a huge Edinburgh fan both irl and in fiction). I've been waiting for this third book in the series for over a year now and I'm so glad to say that it completely delivered but also sad to think that I'll have to wait again for the fourth volume now. How this isn't the hottest fantasy YA series out there yet is beyond me - it's just so brilliant and I couldn't recommend it more.

The book is a complex tale about a young woman finding her way as a ghost-talker, caretaker, outlier, investigator and student - in a dystopian & machiavellian setting - very engaging tale, told well.

Engaging storyline, storytelling & memorable characters

Thoroughly enjoyed the continued saga of Ropa and her mission to develop her magic within the society. I share her frustration and I’m making good use of her flowery vocabulary. Look forward to the next book. Kimberley Mandindo really brings the characters to life. Beautifully read.

Brilliant writing
