- <b>From the author of the critically acclaimed Kurland St. Mary series, this new historical mystery series is a charming cross between a Regency romance and a wellconstructed detective story (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>), and will appeal to fans of Victoria Thompson and Deanna Raybourn.</b><br><br> Lady Caroline is happy to be back amid the swirl of London society, guiding her employers daughter, Dorothy Frogerton, through her first Season. Dorothy has been declared an original by a patron of the exclusive social club, Almacks, and is sifting through potential suitors. Mrs. Frogerton, meanwhile, finds her own diversions, including spiritualist gatherings at the home of Madam Lavinia, and begs Caroline to come along.<br>&#xa0;<br> Caroline is skeptical of Madams antics and faux French accentuntil she slips a note into Carolines hand, which contains intimate family knowledge. Even as Caroline tries to discern whether the spiritualists 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.<br>&#xa0;<br> Caroline needs no psychic abilities to determine a motive, for it seems that Madam was blackmailing some of her clients and has left a trail of aggrieved aristocrats behind. But as Caroline and Mrs. Frogerton investigate further, they find other suspects, and a litany of deceptions, 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 . . .
