Publisher Description
Séances and secrets threaten Lady Julia Grey and her family in this next adventure of Victorian mystery and magic, only from New York Times bestselling author of Killers of a Certain Age, Deanna Raybourn.
Partners now in marriage and in trade, Lady Julia and Nicholas Brisbane have finally returned from abroad to set up housekeeping in London. But merging their respective collections of gadgets, pets and servants leaves little room for the harried newlyweds themselves, let alone Brisbane’s private enquiry business.
Among the more unlikely clients: Julia’s very proper brother, Lord Bellmont, who swears Brisbane to secrecy about his case. Not about to be left out of anything concerning her beloved—if eccentric—family, spirited Julia soon picks up the trail of the investigation.
It leads to the exclusive Ghost Club, where the alluring Madame Séraphine holds evening séances…and more than a few powerful gentlemen in thrall. From this eerie enclave unfolds a lurid tangle of dark deeds, whose tendrils crush reputations and throttle trust.
Shocked to find their investigation spun into salacious newspaper headlines, bristling at the tension it causes between them, the Brisbanes find they must unite or fall. For Bellmont’s sake—and more—they’ll face myriad dangers born of dark secrets, the kind men kill to keep.

Customer Reviews
Good Adventure
I do like the adventure, twists and turns as Brisbane and Lady Julia solve these interesting cases. To be honest, as one must, I am tired of the deceitful and selfish Lady Julia. I hope the next adventure will allow Brisbane to be able to trust his wife, work side by side and still have a great mystery and adventure. I love Portia especially and hope she is a constant character in this series.
Wonderful
This has been by far my favorite book in this series. It made me smile. I love the Brisbane and March families.
