Summary

The next book in the Miss Morton series by Catherine Lloyd, the author of the critically acclaimed Kurland St. Mary series

Lady Caroline is happy to be back amid the swirl of London society, guiding her employer's daughter, Dorothy Frogerton, through her first Season. Mrs. Frogerton, meanwhile, finds her own diversions, including spiritualist gatherings at the home of Madam Lavinia, and begs Caroline to come along. 

Caroline is sceptical of the Madam's antics and faux French accent—until she slips a note into Caroline's hand, which contains intimate family knowledge. Even as Caroline tries to discern whether the spiritualist's powers are real, a much darker mystery presents itself. Madam Lavinia is found lifeless in her chair, a half-empty glass of port at her elbow. In her desk is a note addressed to Caroline, entreating her to find her murderer.

Caroline needs no psychic abilities to determine a motive, for it seems that Madam was blackmailing some of her clients. But as Caroline and Mrs. Frogerton investigate further, they find other suspects, some very close to home. Now Caroline will need to keep all her wits about her if she is to stop others from joining Madam Lavinia in the afterlife…

I’m always nervous when a second book comes out, that it won’t be as good as the first. But this was perhaps better!! - can not wait for the third book to come out and would highly recommend the series to anyone :-)

As enjoyable as the first book
