About this audiobook
Appearing here for the first time, novelette The Cambodian Curse: When an ancient and supposedly cursed Cambodian sculpture disappears from an impenetrable museum, and the carving's owner is killed by an invisible assailant while a witness is a few feet away, historian Jaya Jones and her old nemesis Henry North team up to solve the baffling crime.
Additional stories include: "The Hindi Houdini," "The Haunted Room," "The Library Ghost of Tanglewood Inn," "The Curse of Cloud Castle," "Tempest in a Teapot," "A Dark and Stormy Light," "The Shadow of the River," plus the bonus novella Fool's Gold.
The Cambodian Curse Other Stories includes an introduction from New York Times bestselling author Laurie R. King addressing why we love locked rooms, and a foreword from impossible crime mystery historian Douglas G. Greene, teasing out the tradition of John Dickson Carr that Pandian is following. This collection is filled with ingenious stories of magic, mystery, and history.

Reviews for The Cambodian Curse and Other Stories
15 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5My favorite of these locked-room, Jaya Jones (historian), stories was the final novella-length one titled: Fool's Gold. Its setting was Edinboro, Scotland, during the Fringe Festival, with Jaya's magician friend, Sanjay, playing a significant role in solving the crime. There's also an informative Introduction by Laurie R. King, plus an interesting Foreword that gives a good bit of history on Locked-room mysteries. Besides all that, the narrator, Allyson Ryan, does such an excellent job with all the various dialects, making this audio collection of stories an entertaining and satisfying listen.
