The London Seance Society by Sarah Penner (Legend Press)

Welcome to the world of the occult, romance, and death.

Vaudeline is known throughout the world for her skill in conjuring the spirits of murder victims in order to ascertain the identities of their killers. An esteemed spiritualist, she had solved several of Europe's most baffling murder mysteries.

Lenna, Vaudeline's apprentice, would have to learn the art of séance herself in Paris, then return to the site of Evie's death with the hope of conjuring her sister's spirit on her own. These ghosts were victims of violence, and they are gone too soon. They'd been murdered, every one of them. And worse, their killers had gotten away.

Could women find their voice, their power, and their mission in the 19th century, when men were in charge?

The lively female protagonists, who are not only looking for the killer but also their passion, are perfectly described in this historical fiction.

Good read.
