Publisher Description
A murder at a séance. In an age of rationalism and science, spiritualism has taken hold of the popular imagination. At the home of Lord and Lady Summerhayes, a séance ends in a horrific climax -- a man is drowned in ectoplasm! Impossible! But there’s nothing Elizabeth Hunter-Payne and her Investigation Bureau like better than to investigate an impossible mystery.
Victor Drake was at the table and tried to save the hapless victim. His smoldering good looks and irresistible allure take Elizabeth’s fancy, and her carnal desires are reciprocated. Together, can they solve the mystery? Another thrilling adventure set in a steampunk world of airships, steam-powered aircraft, and swords disguised as lavender umbrellas.

Series just keeps getting better and better
This series of steampunk books with Elizabeth, a very unique heroine just keeps getting better and more interesting. Set in an alternate Victorian London there are multiple stories within each book, interwoven very skillfully. There is a main story arc that has followed along through the six books and there is this books story of a spiritualist and cases of blackmail and murder but Mikala Ash invests even the secondary characters with stories that are exposed throughout the books. The really great thing is that this never becomes pedantic or clunky, but come out as the story progresses in a very natural manner. As with all the other books this one has more sex in it than the traditional book of this trope but Elizabeth’s experiences are all well written and I enjoy reading about women who feel that they can enjoy themselves. I recommend this series highly.
