    About this audiobook

    Superstition and murder haunt nineteenth-century Scotland in a twisting mystery by the prize-winning author of Edinburgh Twilight and Edinburgh Dusk.

    Spiritualism has captured the public’s imagination. Séances are all the rage, and Detective Ian Hamilton’s otherwise sensible aunt Lillian is not immune to their allure. But for Ian, indulging her superstitions has its limits. When members of Lillian’s circle of séance friends begin turning up dead, Ian doesn’t need a medium to tell him these aren’t freak accidents.

    With the help of his friend Arthur Conan Doyle, Ian investigates, and he is soon drawn into a dark world of believers and tricksters, and a puzzling series of murders with no pattern, no motive, and no end in sight. Most alarming, the crimes conjure up the ghosts of Ian’s own past, including the mysterious deaths of his parents, which have haunted him for years.

    As two cases converge, science collides with the uncanny, and Ian must confront truths that are more disturbing than he could ever have imagined.

      Love all three of the Ian Hamilton mysteries. The interpretive narration is just amazing! I found myself totally engrossed in each of these books from the very first moment and did not want them to end! I do LOVE books like that!
    • 3/5
      OK, I got a little sick of the main character about half way through and the childishness of the Sargents' jealousness is simply not how men think. I couldn't read anymore and so skipped to the end , this is it for me.

      1880 Edinburgh. Detective Hamilton's Aunt Lillian invites him to a seance held by Madame Veselka. But soon one of the guests is murdered. Then another. He investigates while still searching for the killer of his parents.
      Another entertaining and well-written historical mystery in this series with its likeable characters
