Sinta, Sorceress-Detective (Tales from Ondiran - fantasy humor series)

A magical murder mystery, complete with medieval mayhem!

Poison in the prince's pork tenderloin claims the life of his hapless taster. A dagger to the heart slays the sleeping court sorcerer, tasked to investigate. With courtiers seemingly falling like ninepins, the prince's chancellor turns to Mistress Sinta, a gifted freelance sorceress, to assume the role of detective.

With the aid of Sir Othir, her dashing man-at-arms, Sinta plunges into the murk of the princely court, where-while enjoying some tasty meals-she soon finds that spells alone will not uncover the answers she seeks.

Can our inquisitive young heroine crack the case before herself falling victim to the killer?
