“One of the best of this series . . . Lively and well-plotted.” —The New York Times Book Review

The spiritualist movement has captivated a segment of Victorian London: manifestations, the occult, and “sensitives” are in vogue. When séance sites become targets for theft, Sergeant Cribb and Constable Thackeray are on the case. But then someone murders the medium, and the two find themselves rubbing shoulders with some rather eccentric suspects.

Reviews

An intriguing setting and premise with characters who are both fun and somewhat funny, but the mystery didn't really pull me in. I found myself rushing to the end to find out who the culprit was and what evidence Cribb had against him or her, and I was underwhelmed.
