London, 1925. Gloria Sutter helped the bereaved contact loved ones killed during the Great War. Now she's been murdered. Ellie Winter must delve into Gloria's secrets to help her former friend. James Hawley, a damaged war veteran who has dedicated himself to debunking psychics helps Ellie uncover what happened to Gloria. Ellie is tormented by nightmarish visions that herald the grisly murders of those in Gloria's circle. James turns dangerously intimate and an insidious evil force begins to undermine their quest for clues. This is a very atmospheric book from the 1920's with captivating characters. It is full of psychics, seances, ghosts and romance between Ellie and James. If you like gothic romance and paranormal historical fiction, you will love this book!
An enjoyable read, written in a pleasant style. We follow psychic Ellie Winter as she looks into the death of her former friend and fellow psychic Gloria. (I wondered why she didn't just summon up Gloria's spirit and ask her how she died; but then there'd have been no need for this book. And the author sort of explains why this doesn't happen.) It was a good read right up to the denouement, which I thought was a bit confusing, then devolved into what seemed a rehash of recent supernatural films like The Conjuring. Not her best, in my opinion.
