*Thank you to Netgalley and Legend Press for my ARC in exchange for an honest unbiased review * It’s eerie, full of suspense, with a little romance thrown in for good measure, not to mention some salacious propositions! Victorian London is brought deliciously to life in this creepy gothic storyline, and especially the popularity of spiritualism, it’s simply oozing with atmosphere. Lenna Wickes has come to Paris as an understudy with D’Allaire but she’s also here to discover who killed her sister Evie, but unlike Evie, Lenna is rather sceptical about the afterlife, never mind contacting the dead.Īfter the seance, D’Allaire’s services are required in London by the London Seance Society, to solve a high profile murder, and accompanied by Lenna, the two will find themselves in extreme danger as they battle some of the most powerful men in London, because Lenna is determined to avenge Evie’s death, regardless of whether that person yields power or not. Not unnaturally, D’Allaire is very popular both with grieving widows and investigators alike.
Leading the seance is acclaimed spiritualist Vaudeline D’Allaire, who has a talent for bringing forth murder victims, in order to discover the person responsible for their deaths. It’s 1873, and on the outskirts of Paris, France, a seance is about to commence in the eerie confines of an abandoned chateau.
