The Christmas Caper (Secret Staircase Mystery #1.5)

Brigid says: Tempest Raj, secret room builder and former stage magician, has arrived in Edinburgh, Scotland just in time for a yuletide museum heist. Staying with her grandparents in a vacation rental overlooking the castle, they soon learn that a local museum has been robbed and the case seems impossible to solve. With a delightful sense of place and lots of delicious food descriptions, I devoured this short story with no murder. While it is officially #1.5 in the series, it can easily be read as a standalone.
