The London Séance Society

Content warnings: murder, loss of a sibling

Lenna Wickes learns the art of séance to find out who murdered her sister.

Lenna Wickes's sister Evie was murdered on Halloween. Evie was into the occult and very interested in the gentlemen's club London Séance Society, much to scientific-minded Lenna's chagrin. To find out what happened to her sister, Lenna goes to Paris to learn from the best medium -- Vaudeline D’Allaire.

Madame D’Allaire receives a message from London that her dear friend was also murdered on Halloween. Her friend was the head of the London Séance Society. The women return to the city to find out what happened to him -- and if Evie's murder is connected to the crime.

When the women return to London, they are hidden inside the gentlemen's club by employee Mr. Morley. But when tensions are high and anyone could be a murderer, no one knows who they can trust.

Switching narration between Lenna and Mr. Morley, the story offers twists and turns before coming to the novel's shocking conclusion. Recommended for fans of supernatural historical fiction or women's fiction.
